Notability[edit]

Hi there, I noticed your post at WP:Teahouse and took a look at Draft:Clyde Space which looks very good. In a nutshell you need a couple more solid references. Newspapers and books are the best, things like industry publications are usually ignored, see Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources. The section on "Sources" will not count at all as they aren't connected as a reference to any claim in the text. The following lines would be great for notability only if they have the benefit of a "reliable source":

The company operates internationally

The company designed and built Scotland’s first satellite

Sunday Times award for Innovation

They announced the creation of a US company, Clyde Space, Inc

Clyde Space have been busy for over a decade racking up space mission heritage

On the other side of the coin the only reliably sourced reference is the BBC article "Scottish space industry soaring high". Unfortunately that great source only backs up "In the last two years, Glasgow has built more satellites than any other city in Europe". It would be great to use this reference for "Clyde Space quickly came to dominate the market in providing components for the CubeSats." and "The UK Space Agency then commissioned Clyde Space to build what was Scotland's first satellite."

I hope this helps, good luck with your article! Dougmcdonell (talk) 05:14, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
