Comment: Rather remarkably, given the valiant levels of heavy refbombardment, not one of the sources cited meets the WP:GNG standard for notability; all are either routine business reporting, churnalism, primary sources, or some combination thereof, or 'news' of publicity stunts like 'the most expensive number plate' etc. DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:42, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: No change to name title and there are also practically no improvements. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 12:37, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: The sources are not about the company, but they are about things the company has sold. We need multiple in-depth, independent, and reliable sources to prove the notability of this company. Seawolf35 T--C 15:07, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
