Please fix if any issues and publish the article. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Takeshidjome (talk • contribs) 11:48, 6 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Takeshidjome: I have "submitted" the page for review on your behalf. There is a 2-3 month backlog right now. I can say this: It will be difficult to evaluate the submission since most references are in the German language. It would be very helpful if you could reply to this with a list of 1 to 5 references that a reviewer can look at through Google Translate or a similar service. Pick the references that, taken together, will clearly demonstrate that this company meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Without evidence that it does, no article about this company, no matter how well written and how well referenced, can be accepted.

Please read WP:Notability and WP:Notability (organizations and companies) before replying. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 15:29, 6 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I took a quick look. The first two look to be nearly-identical articles. The publishers look to be "niche" enough that they wouldn't qualify for demonstrating the topic's notability, but that's a subjective area sometimes. Newsy-today.com looks like a blog, which is not a reliable source. The Yahoo result is from https://www.insidermonkey.com/blog/understanding-life-insurance-cancellation-legal-recourse-with-insurance-expert-phil-sokowicz-880034/ which is a blog as well. I'm not sure if it qualifies as a "news blog" so I'm not willing to throw it out entirely just yet, but I'm not optimistic.

Bottom line: If the non-English sources aren't from more reputable, more journalistic sources, it's going to be hard to convince a reviewer that this company qualifies for an article in Wikipedia. Non-English sources are fine. Also, coverage doesn't have to be just from news. If the company has been the subject of a serious, non-novelty/non-"friendly" documentary by an already-notable producer, or if it's been taught as a subject or significant portion of a subject in at the university level, that might work too, depending on things like how much input the company had (that is, how "independent" the course was of the company), how selective the university is in what topics it teaches, etc. Read WP:Notability and WP:Notability (companies and organizations) for more information. By far most companies are NOT "notable" enough to qualify for an article. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 23:11, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
