- Comment: The only solid source showing notability here in my view is AFR. Other sources are either non-independent or are routine announcements I would expect of any decently sized corporation. We need more sources to establish notability. While I also marked this as reading like an advertisement, it's really just 2 items causing me to feel like that. The first is "
FY23 Articore had...
", not all readers are going to known what "FY23" means and is it entirely necessary to list off all of those statistics in the lead? The second is "Articore Group emerged from a corporate restructuring...
" (emphasis mine). "Emerged" gives off a positive connotation in favor of the company. A more neutral wording may be "Articore Group underwent a corporate restructuring..
