Comment: Doesn't meet WP:NCORP. Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 11:52, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

Comment: The draft as written does not show how the company is notable; more importantly, the History section mentions nothing about the company before 1998, but the Branding section claims that it was founded in 1809. That's the relevant thing – the present-day history, and especially minor details such as branding, is much less relevant for an article in an encyclopedia. bonadea contributions talk 08:30, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
