Company marketing
Hello, thank you for writing this article! I have a few concerns about it and wanted to discuss them with you:


 * I’m a bit concerned that this company might not be notable enough to qualify for a Wikipedia article. That link goes to a guide, but basically any coverage of a company on here is supposed to be based on being covered in reliable sources, like newspapers, in the form of full articles and not just things like business listings.
 * A lot of it reads like a press release or promotional copy, not a factual encyclopaedia article.

Are there any extra citations you can add from reliable sources like news articles about this company - not anything published by the company, but independent news articles - demonstrating that it's notable? (Those are links to guides explaining this in more detail.) I'm concerned since the article may get deleted otherwise. Let me know if you have any thoughts or questions about this.

Separately, since the article reads like you might be marketing the company, you might want to look at this, an automated text on editing and disclosing interests if you have a conflict of interest. All the best, any questions just let me know and I'll try to help. Blythwood (talk) 12:07, 22 March 2016 (UTC) Hello, Smithclaire82. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:


 * avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your circle, your organization, its competitors, projects or products;
 * instead propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the request edit template);
 * when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you.
