Please add references that meet all three of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.

Please note that if the issues are not fixed, the draft will be declined again.

Comment: Social media/YouTube is unacceptable as sources. We need more than the mere citation of the website in media. We need independent reliable sources with significant coverage of the company- which means critical analysis and commentary about this company., not the mere reporting of its activities. Most companies on Earth don't have such coverage.
If you are associated with this company, that must be disclosed, see WP:COI and WP:PAID, or see your user talk page. 331dot (talk) 08:50, 9 June 2026 (UTC)
