Thanks for the review! As I'm the COI-disclosed submitted, I fully expect scrutiny, however the decline reason is the general template and I'd be grateful for your assessment of the specific sources, so I know how to improve the draft.
The three sources I believe satisfy WP:SIRS are:
- Le Soir (Mathieu Colinet, 20 June 2022), a dedicated article in a Belgian national daily covering the company's founding, model and trajectory.
- La Libre (Maïli Bernaerts, 11 April 2025), a journalist-authored feature.
- L'Avenir (Mathieu Golinvaux, 18 February 2021), a dedicated feature.
All three are in French and the first is paywalled but I understand per WP:NOENG and WP:PAYWALL that this doesn't disqualify them per se. If needed, I'd be happy to provide relevant extracts or translations of key passages if that would help verification.
Could you let me know which of these three fail NCORP in your view, and on which criterion (independence, depth, or reliability)? If the answer is that all three fall short, I'll accept that the subject is WP:TOOSOON and wait for further coverage rather than resubmitting. Thanks for your time.
