  • Comment: If there are no sources to establish notability at this. What is the use of resubmitting? Reading Beans, Duke of Rivia 06:52, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: The awards section contains four awards irrelevant to notability. It adds no value.
    Please look with care at the earlier references, and note their PR like churnalistic content. That is not a good look. Are these truly the best references you can find? 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 23:43, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: I am taking the unusual step of a second review of this blatant advert to suggest to the paid editor that they stop resubmitting this until they have learned their trade.
    This remains a corporate brochure.
    Declaring paid editing does not mean that you can wrote promotional material. Please do not resubmit this until it is in the state that you are being paid to submit, that is an acceptable state. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 15:00, 29 October 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: more citations needed; needs more relevant Wikilinks (e.g., do the awards have Wikipedia pages? Do the foundations with which they partner?) Snowman304|talk 01:10, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: This cororate brochure needs a drastic edit to cut material thtya is purely promotional. Are you associated with the organisation? 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 13:47, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
