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 Curb Safe Charmer 14 days ago. | |
Comment: Needs much more sources for the amount of claims this article makes (even the year of establishment is not supported), especially in the history section. That section will read better as a prose and not as a unbulleted timeline. AlphaBetaGamma (Talk/report any mistakes here) 14:22, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
