- Comment: DoubleGrazing, good catch. Thanks for noticing! Bkissin (talk) 21:10, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: The Globe and Mail piece says
"Advertising feature produced by Globe Content Studio. The Globe’s editorial department was not involved."
, which I took to mean it's sponsored. DoubleGrazing (talk) 05:42, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: DoubleGrazing, I would argue that the Globe and Mail piece is also a good secondary source, but I agree that the article needs more reliable secondary sources. Bkissin (talk) 18:07, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Primary sources do not establish notability per WP:ORG. The one secondary one, the BIV piece, is alone not enough. DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:12, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
