This article is based primarily on press releases seeded by the firm (aka churnalism). None of the sources represents any independent overview of the subject itself. Guy (Help!) 12:40, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The article subject satisfies WP:ORGIN i.e. the organization is notable enough to justify a separate article on the verifiable evidence that the organization or product has attracted the notice of reliable sources unrelated to the organization or product. Further, per WP:GNG, Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material. Disclosure: article creator.

The sources do not support this. The sources are merely press releases. Incidentally, can you explain why I've found a few articles you wrote which have subsequently been puffed up by an easily identifiable individual who is the PR for the subjects? That's a bizarre coincidence. Guy (Help!) 09:02, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I approached the PR to ask if they would provide a copyright-free image for Joe Calzaghe, which they did. I subesquently found some companies on their site who looked interesting (and notable) and created articles on them. Seems the PR decided to 'improve' the articles.
