Entirely advertorial as all of this is either puffery, press releases or trivial coverage; nothing at all from it is actually convincing and my own searches are also mirroring this by not finding anything actually substantial. SwisterTwister talk 20:04, 31 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – Passes WP:CORPDEPTH per coverage in bylined news articles written by staff writers that have been published in independent, reliable sources. Also passes WP:AUD per national-level news coverage. The article would benefit from copy editing, because it reads as a press release in areas. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 08:08, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep Needing cleanup or a rewrite is not a reason to delete when there is a large amount of reliable, independent source material with in-depth coverage of the subject. Clearly and obviously passes the general notability guideline. Steven Walling • talk 06:47, 7 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
