Submission declined on 10 October 2024 by MarcGarver (talk).

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

Please note that if the issues are not fixed, the draft will be declined again.

Comment: The company seems small and unlikely to be considered notable enough for inclusion. Also, you haven't provided any references so the content can't be verified. Please check the Wikipedia pages WP:RS and WP:ORG on notability for companies. MarcGarver (talk) 16:00, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
