Promotional vanity article created nine years ago by an WP:SPA is currently sourced entirely to the company's official website, press releases, and churnalism. A WP:BEFORE on Google News finds an endless stream of press releases issued through just about every major wire service (PRWeb, PR Newswire, MarketWired, etc.) and a handful of cases of churnalism on questionably RS military and "first responder" interest websites and blogs. Fails WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:GNG. Chetsford (talk) 18:36, 3 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Chetsford. All press release syndications, no editorial or reputable sourcing. Fails WP:GNG. Delete Snake Oil Wench (talk) 3 April 2021 (UTC)

I'm interested in keeping this page on Wikipedia and I'm open to whatever edits I need to make to keep it up. I'm a bit new to this so I welcome your feedback. It's my understanding that press releases on major wire services don't qualify as sources. Quite recently we sponsored a UFC match and were featured on WFMZ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WFMZ-TV). Here's a link to the article: https://www.wfmz.com/news/pr_newswire/pr_newswire_technology/govx-named-official-partner-for-ufc-260-miocic-vs-ngannou-2/article_8d28d37f-0b90-5e08-b746-b2eccb84f0b6.html Would this qualify? I thank you for your insight. And any additional edits you recommend to our Wikipedia entry would be helpful.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Bhannify (talk • contribs)

No, that's a press release. We can tell because, in the dateline, it says "PRNewswire-PRWeb" and includes a full boilerplate of the company. This article had a good run, though. If it's any consolation, we usually identify these for deletion a lot faster than we did with this one. Also, you need to disclose your connection to the company as per WP:PAID if you intend to make further edits to the article in the few days it has left.

Delete I am unable to locate any deep or significant coverage with in-depth information on the company and containing independent content, references to date fail the criteria for establishing notability, topic therefore fails WP:NCORP. HighKing⁺⁺ 20:00, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
