When you post a message, please add it to the bottom of a talk page, give it a heading, and sign it. Please don't just stick an unsigned, unheaded message in the middle of another editor's post, or it may be overlooked.

Your only edits on Wikipedia, apart from that message, were to the company article. You have an obvious conflict of interest and you must declare it. If you work directly or indirectly for an organisation, or otherwise are acting on its behalf, you are very strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. If you are paid directly or indirectly by the organisation you are writing about, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Geartubby. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:   . If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. Note that editing with a COI is discouraged, but permitted as long as it is declared. Concealing a COI can lead to a block. Please do not edit further until you respond to this message. Also read the following regarding writing an article:


 * you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the organisation or company, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, logs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the company or organisation claims or interviewing its management. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls
 * The notability guidelines for organisations and companies have been updated. The primary criteria has five components that must be evaluated separately and independently to determine if it is met:
 * significant coverage in
 * independent,
 * multiple,
 * reliable,
 * secondary sources.
 * Note that an individual source must meet all four criteria to be counted towards notability.


 * You must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, with verifiable facts, not opinions or reviews.
 * There shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
 * You must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.

Much of your text was unsourced, sourced to the company or its affiliates, or consisted of press releases and/or interviews with the company, rather than genuine independent third-party sources. You give us some history and branding, a pointless list of offices, and "this is what we sell". The company may well be notable, but appears to have no headquarters, turnover or profit.

I've seen worse, but the text has unsourced or self-sourced claims like ''its broader portfolio and its expansion across the overall value chain... The company's services revolve around key partner ecosystem... joins the delaware partnership to bring their expertise to the...''

Not a reason for deletion, but headings should follow normal sentence case capitalisation.

There is nothing to stop you recreating, following the guidance I've posted above. Recreating is problematic, since it was nominated for speedy deletion and deleted while still a draft, but your references were mostly unsuitable anyway, so better to start from scratch.

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read Your first article. You must also reply to the COI request above. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 10:02, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
