While I have lots of experience writing articles on companies, I'm a bit short of time for article creation lately. You are focusing on the right things though, which is media coverage. That is what will show the company is notable. A great example to follow is Sol Republic. After you get something started, I can take some time to look it over.

We have gotten this initial draft written, what is the best way to send this over to you? It is currently in word doc format. Thanks! KKRevant (talk) 18:46, 10 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Post it here. You can then access via the "sandbox" link at the top of the page when you are logged in. Once it is posted, leave a message on my talk page. Aboutmovies (talk) 06:32, 11 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hey Aboutmovies, appreciate all the help so far! I was able to get this uploaded to the sandbox link you sent over. It looks like the formatting is a bit off as you could imagine, but I did my best to accurately format everything I could. What do you think? Anything else we would need to do to get the Revant Optics page officially live? Thank you and have a great weekend! KKRevant (talk) 00:01, 14 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Just wanted to check up on this front. I know you're extremely busy so no rush by any means. Is there anything we can do to move this forward at all? Thank you again! KKRevant (talk) 21:51, 27 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That is a good start. Work on the references to match what I did with the first one. If you can find some more sources, that would be good. too. Aboutmovies (talk) 05:18, 29 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for letting us know! I've changed these references to be the correct format. As of right now, these are about all the references we have. We've noticed a lot of other local business pages have less sources/less content in their pages. Would there be anyway we can launch with this profile or do we absolutely need more info here? Any guidance on the type of info to add would be great. Thanks a ton! KKRevant (talk) 22:57, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You can go ahead and move it into mainspace. Don't try to compare with other articles, but know that ultimately if someone challenges the notability, it will be all about the media coverage. There is not much there, but it may be enough to keep it from being deleted. There is no one gate keeper, any editor could nominate it for deletion. Meanwhile, reach out to local media about the potential for them to do an article about the company. They like to do quick stories when companies hire new executives, move, win awards, etc., so if any of those things happens, issue a press release and see what happens.

Thank you so much for all your help. We will definitely be reaching out to local media about those types of stories. I just had one more question, is there anything we can do to prove any credibility before it gets flagged for deletion? Will they be able to see this correspondence at all, and check the steps we attempted to go through before posting in the Wikipedia community? If so, I'd love to make sure all of these things are completed to be in proper compliance with Wiki standards. Thanks!! KKRevant (talk) 20:03, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
While I'd like to think my opinion matters, ultimately it is only one opinion as to notability. So, even if others locate this discussion, it would have little weight on the matter. Otherwise, there is not much else to-do. Aboutmovies (talk) 06:15, 7 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
