Hi Michael. I've had as closer look at the sources availiable for the company and the draft article in your sandbox. [1], [2] and the SCMagazine links are OK and go towards proving notability. The blogspot, Google+ and linkedin links are not reliable and probably shouldn't be used. The other links aren't independent enough to prove notablily but there's no harm in them staying. I also found this link which as a press release from a partner company is not independent, but it could be used to support some of the info in the article. I am still not sure this company is notable enough for an article to survive for long here. I imagine that if you created it now with the sources available, someone would nominate it for deletion and other editors are likely to !vote to delete it. I think the best thing you can do now is to submit it as a draft article where you will get more help in getting it ready to move to main space. Sarahj2107 (talk) 08:00, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

I agree -- but really the best thing for you to do is go get some news stories written about your company. Either through effort or success. That's what Wikipedia wants to see. Lots of news stories. Then an article can get created. You aren't the person who should be creating it though. Nor should you be paying people. I may be willing to start it if you can show me some good news stories, in reputable publications. Handpolk (talk) 15:08, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

Thanks Michael but after reviewing those I wouldn't be able to start the article and it is my opinion your company does not meet the notability requirement for having it's own article. Any article created about it is likely to be deleted, in my opinion, no matter who creates it. I would suggest simply going back to work and trying to get the press to write about your company whenever possible. Like for funding rounds or profiles etc -- not simply somebody being quoted. Good luck. Handpolk (talk) 09:47, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

Blocked

I apologise for omitting the block notice. You have instructions above on appealing the block, however, it is clear that you are here solely to promote a subject where you have a vested interest, and your draft article duplicates one deleted multiple times at two titles (at least).

I have unblocked your account per the consensus developing on Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard. Please ensure you comply with all parts of the Wikipedia:Conflict of interest guideline in future. Regards — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 11:58, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
