An article on a franchising company, created by an acknowledged paid editor who created it as a draft but then moved it to main space without WP:AFC review. The references are mainly routine coverage on franchising sites. The company has also won "Waterproofing and Foundation Repair" awards in their area but these are not inherently notable. My searches are finding no reliable source coverage to indicate more than a firm going about its business; fails WP:CORPDEPTH. AllyD (talk) 06:56, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

 * Noting that the article creator also created redirects for names associated with the company, I have added these to the "find sources" above. AllyD (talk) 07:02, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Re: Failing "WP:CORPDEPTH" - the company is definitely more notable in the Atlantic Canada region than it is Canada-wide (it has been covered in regional/local news there a number of times, but tracking these sources down can be a challenge). That said, your concern given the sources included on the current version of the page seems reasonable. I'll see what I can do to remedy this by tracking down more (independent) sources that ideally also prove notability. Astro Reeves (talk) 16:15, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete Agree with nom, zero indications of notability, entirely promotional, fails WP:SPIP. A search for sources doesn't turn up anything that meets the criteria for establishing notability. Topic fails GNG and WP:NCORP.  HighKing++ 19:39, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - meets neither WP:GNG or WP:CORPDEPTH.  Onel 5969  TT me 11:59, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
