total mortgage services

Hello and thanks for following up with me at my talk page. In order to establish notability of a corporation you must demonstrate that the corporation has received significant coverage by published, independent, reliable sources. Most of your references are not independent, third party sources. The first one is an interview with a person connected to the company - that is not considered third party coverage. Two of your sources link back to the company's webpage and therefore are not independent sources capable of establishing notability. One of them is a press release distributed the PRNewswire which is not independent but rather self-promotional. The article about the award for the workplace is good but not enough by itself. The 5000 Inc listing is just that - a listing. The article about being licenced doesn't set the corporation apart from any other similarly licenced mortgage company.

You will need to find coverage that is not only independent but of substance that supports both the information in the article and the notability of the company. The requirement for independent sources relates to the requirement for verifiablity which is essential for any Wikipedia article.

I trust this is of some help. If I can be of further assistance you may reach me at my talk page.
