improvement still needed
The current article does not appear to be a copyvio, but there is still one important thing to do: it must have references providing substantial coverage from  3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases. Without it, there is no way of truly showing its notability. I advise you to fix the problem, and do this soon, before the article possibly gets nominated for deletion by a regular deletion process.
