Draft:Solita (company)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Comment: Despite the number of previous declines (not to mention previous deletions), this draft still presents no evidence of notability. Not only that, but it describes a purely ROTM business, with no claim of noteworthiness, making it an obvious speedy deletion candidate under A7/G11. From this, I can only conclude that the subject is not notable enough to warrant inclusion at this time, and to avoid further reviewer effort being expended on this draft, I am therefore now rejecting rather than merely declining this.

  • Comment: Still excessively promotional tone throughout article. Please rewrite this to fit WP:NPOV before resubmitting. Thx ~Liancetalk 17:44, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: Ref. the edit summary comment, "Solita's growth and business partners all over world" is absolutely not a "valid reason" to publish this, as that has nothing whatsoever to do with notability.
    And if "Solita's competitors have (clearly promo) pages on English Wikipedia", that is not a reason to create this, either; see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. (If there are promotional articles on non-notable companies, anyone is welcome to improve them, tag them for improvement, or commence deletion proceedings, as applicable.)
