Hi NZFC sorry if my formatting on this reply is poor - I'm new to this. I don't work for them but they are a big sport brand here and I do have a rugby jersey with their logo. Before I knew who they were I googled them and nothing really came up just website and facebook which only has info they want customers to know. I always grew up thinking that if you googled something and typed wiki next to it you would always get a result because wikipedia had a page for everything. But even some of the wiki pages with pro and national sport teams mentioned them as the company that made their playing gear but its just black text and no link. How is that helpful to find out more if theres no link? I don't want to read about them on their website because that actually is just pr.

If you delete this that sucks but I'll live, I had fun making this anyway, it was like building a free website on wix or something. So many things are just companies now, how do you even make any brand have a wiki page without it looking like advertising? Your page says you like NZ football so if you can make this look better so it meets the rules please do. --Rab8888 (talk) 02:52, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

Kia ora @Rab8888:, thanks for your reply. I know getting started on here isn't easy. The thing is not everyone deserves a page on Wikipedia, the company has to be notable in their own right to get one. I understand wanting to know more about them and turning black wording into links is a great goal to have but the page does read like PR as it stands and a new company like them is unlikely to be notable, even if they are the sponsors on a number of jerseys. They need to be written about, by reliable third party sources. I also do hope I haven't put you off editing here, starting a new article is one of the hardest things to do on Wikipedia, so I commend you for giving it a go.— NZFC^(talk)(cont) 02:58, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

Kia ora ra @NZFC:! I'll try not to be put off. Maybe smaller edits for now, a lot of local teams or even NPC teams have broken links I found and those are easy to fix. --Rab8888 (talk) 03:11, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

That is always really helpful to do too. — NZFC^(talk)(cont) 03:14, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
