Does not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines OhNoKaren (talk) 01:12, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Delete. The article was created by @Rachelaps, who claims to be an employee for APS Payroll on their user page. Perfecnot (talk) 01:31, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I was not aware of this policy. We are in the process of engaging with a third-party vendor to manage our content. I will update this conversation once we have secured a third-party vendor to update our page. Thank you. Rachelaps (talk) 15:36, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If “third-party vendor” is a corporate euphemism for “random PR firm that we throw money at to edit our Wikipedia page for us”, please be aware that we have strict guidelines for editing in the presence of a conflict of interest. You should familiarize yourself with WP: COI. You should also be aware that paid editing outside of these guidelines is heavily looked down upon by the community and may lead to sanctions, including but not limited to a block from editing.

My apologies, I wasn't aware of the policy. We would love if you keep the page up, but we will not make any more changes or updates to this page. Hopefully, in the future a client or partner will make an update to keep the page relevant. We now understand that we should not hire someone to update the page.

Thank you. Rachelaps (talk) 21:46, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
"Clients", "partners", or any other entity that you or your company has a financial relationship with also has a conflict of interest. You seem to be misunderstanding WP: COI as "we can't hire people to write our Wikipedia page for us", which is true but not a complete summary of what that policy forbids. I advise you to read the entirety of WP: COI and stay away from inducing any of your "partners" from making edits on your behalf. This is an encyclopedia, not a web host for whatever corporate mumbo-jumbo you've been cooking up for the past ten years. HyperAccelerated (talk) 03:18, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I apologize that I have offended you, that was not my intention. As I mentioned before, we will not update this page ever again. Thank you and have a great day. Rachelaps (talk) 13:55, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'm confused why you think I'm personally offended, but no problem. You're free to reach out on my Talk page if you have any questions about COI. HyperAccelerated (talk) 20:24, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Fails WP: GNG. Could not find sources to establish notability. HyperAccelerated (talk) 13:06, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Delete Seemingly no actual sources conferring notability, COI issues, written like an advertisement. Not a formal metric of appraisal, but just for scale the company only has 4 google reviews. Not salvageable at this point. A MINOTAUR (talk) 18:11, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
