Ways to improve BlackVPN

Hi, I'm My name is not dave. Stempelquist, thanks for creating BlackVPN!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. One secondary source may not be enough for this to pass our notability guidelines. Could you perhaps expand the article, using extra sources that also prove the subject's notability per WP:42? Thanks!

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

ExpressVPN

Hello,

I just wanted to send you a quick note, it might be better to fold ExpressVPN into a page on Express VPN International instead of leaving it as its own page. There is no rule for this per se, but I think it would be better to have an article on the corporation, and only to split off specific products into their own pages if they are too large to fit on the corporate page. Xevus11 (talk) 01:44, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

Normally I'd agree, but as far as I know, the company only offers one product currently and that's the VPN service. As it is I'd say the VPN service is more notable than the company.--Stempelquist (talk) 02:09, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
