Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies. Declined by DoubleGrazing 2 months ago. | ![]() |
Comment: The only secondary sources are the BBC piece, which does not provide significant coverage; the Forbes one, which is WP:FORBESCON; and the NASDAQ article, which is an interview. None of these counts towards notability per WP:GNG. The other sources are all primary. DoubleGrazing (talk) 05:57, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
