  • Comment: It is not that mores sources are need but better quality sources. Many of these are trade publications which are at best weak sources as they generally exist to promote an industry and have a limited audience. Also, press releases, interviews, etc. are not independent so cannot be used to establish notability. I suggest removing all the weak sources and using only high quality sources (such as reputable newspapers or the like) that have written in-depth about the company. Also this needs to be rewritten like an encyclopedia article rather than a list of activities/events. If resubmitted without substantial improvements the draft may be rejected meaning it will no longer be considered. S0091 (talk) 16:29, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
