Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established.

Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format.

Comment: The OP has removed primary and unreliable sources upon my instructions. And I myself have cleaned up the promo bits and copy edited the article. Also trimmed some references. I've put some of them in the talk page. IMO the company might meet borderline notability but I'll leave that to someone else to review. @Fintechfraser: you may resubmit the draft now and someone else will review it. Regards.

Comment: Thank you for your WP:COI declaration. However, the framing of the submission is still promotional and not suitable as is. See also WP:SOLUTION. Greenman (talk) 21:12, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
