Comment: I'll give credit where credit is due and state that the subject could be potentially notable (cited in The Guardian, significant coverage, etc.) but there are still a few issues with the point of view. I understand you've been paid by your employer and you've (as you should've) disclosed such. You might also be interested in WP:COI or WP:BOSS—if you've been paid by your employer to write this it'll naturally be difficult to write everything about the subject in a neutral, minimally biased point of view—but that, for better or worse, is the bare minimum for any article. — 3PPYB6 (T / C / L) — 04:42, 14 June 2025 (UTC)
