Draft:Eriksen Translations

  • Comment: Including certifications, awards, and CSR is something only the company cares about having on Wikipedia. This is something to keep to its website and not an encyclopedia. The relevant guideline to look at is WP:CORPDEPTH as the references will need to meet it in order to show notability. To save some time, I also did a quick WP:BEFORE search and was unable to find anything. CNMall41 (talk) 22:03, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
