Comment: Agree with other reviewer that this still reads far too much like an advertisement. Also….. feels like it might have been written by someone connected to the subject of the article, but if so, where is the conflict of interest disclosure? On top of that though, the article also doesn’t meet notability criteria. Notability requires 2-3 sources which are reliable, independent, secondary sources, which talk at length about the topic of the article. Unfortunately the sources so far aren’t quite there. They all either mention the subject in passing, or fail for independence. Hopefully these issues can be resolved, but given what we have so far it seems unlikely. Good luck 👍 Absurdum4242 (talk) 03:20, 24 February 2026 (UTC)
