AfC Stuff

 * It is often better to compare with existing recognised Wikipedia Good Articles. You can find a list of Good Articles about companies at Good articles/Social sciences and society. A Draft wouldn't need to be as long or detailed as these to be accepted, but they can still be good examples of how to structure and reference it.
 * Just because an article exists on Wikipedia does not mean it is necessarily a good model to base a new article on. This is called WP:OSE, "Other stuff exists".  Wikipedia is monitored by volunteers, so it's not unusual for an inappropriate article to slip through the cracks.
 * Other stuff exists
 * Hello all. Notability, as we use that term here, is not the vernacular definition. It is not a measure of worth or merit of the topic, but of whether it belongs in an encyclopedia, which is not in the slightest the same thing. It is an objective measure of whether the world has taken note of a topic by writing about it (he, she, they) substantively in independent, third-party, reliable sources, as demonstrated by article writers by citation to those sources. This works hand-in-hand with our verifiability and no original research policies, as it assures, respectively, that an article's information is verifiable in reliable sources and that the content does not include information about acts, allegations, and ideas for which no reliable, published sources exist (A point of clarity is that both verifiability and no original research can be met through non-secondary sources; whereas notability only looks to secondary sources.). To parse the basic definition a bit: substantive treatment means not just mere mention but real content about the subject, which can be used to verify detailed statements about it. Independent, third party sources means that the sources cited should be completely unconnected to the subject. Reliable sources are those with a reputation for checking the facts, editorial oversight and accuracy – so not some unknown persons on blog or random websites, not Facebook or Linkin, not the subject's own website or any connected to them, not press releases, but books published by major publishing houses, newspaper articles, magazine write-ups, treatment in peer-reviewed scholarly journals and websites that meet the same requirements as reputable print-based sources, etc. You have not demonstrated the existence of such sources. The draft already notes some of this this in its reviews. The recognition section you talk about above does not help. First, articles should be made up of prose paragraphs exploring the topic, not long lists of accomplishments or credits. This article has one sentence of prose followed by lists. Encyclopedia articles are not directories or résumés. The recognition section lists other Wikipedia articles which is useless. Wikipedia is itself not a reliable source but user generated content and citation to other articles is circular. Everything else is mere mentions, all in a section which doesn't belong in the first place. All this is not to say the sources we want don't exist and the type of writing we seek can't be accomplished, but it's distinctly lacking from this draft. A proper article would strip out 90% of the list material, all of which reads as promotional and résumé fodder, and would instead have a few paragraphs of prose with reliable sources cited. To give you an example of some sources that might help, possibly this and this. Neither would be enough to sustain an article – I don't know if enough exist to sustain an article – but those are far more in the realm of the types of sources we're looking for.--

 * In its current state the article is not suitable for the Wikipedia. Articles on Wikipedia needs to be written as per Wikipedia's format and layout as well as it should be properly sourced to meet the Wikipedia's criteria for notability. And please look at WP:CIT about how to format citations, which makes it easier to evaluate the article.
 * Your first article
 * Please see WP:CIT about how to properly format citations, currently in their present state, it is not possible to evaluate the notability of this article, in addition to the POV issue. Also, look at WP:MOS and MOS:LAYOUT on how to structure and layout your article.

 * Articles lacking sources


 * WP:ROUTINE: WP:ROUTINE covers all forms of "media coverage that is to be expected in this context". Yes, it lists wedding announcements and obituaries as examples of what routine coverage entails — but examples do not limit a rule as being applicable only to those specific examples, and irrelevant to anything not explicitly named as an example. Routine coverage does also include purely local coverage of local municipal politics, purely local coverage of the local furniture store's fifth anniversary blowout sale, purely local coverage of local restaurants, purely local coverage of an unsigned local band playing their local watering hole, and on and so forth. If a person or thing doesn't have a strong claim to passing Wikipedia's subject-specific inclusion standards for their field of activity, then to get a WP:GNG pass the level and range of media coverage has to go significantly above and beyond the realm of the merely expected.
