Possibly the most unapologetically, shamelessly promotional article I have ever seen on WP, and likely large chunks of it were LLM-written. Dozens of sources, but all of them are either trivial product listings, trade publications that never specifically mention the company, dead links, or (the one and only piece of significant coverage, Ref. 30) an interview. Total failure of WP:NCORP based on sourcing, and the article is so promotional I'm not inclined to be more sympathetic even if better references are found.

Delete per WP:TNT which is just an essay, not a policy or guideline but a good idea in this case. Reliability is a must for Wikipedia and LLMs are not reliable -- see WP:OR. Bad refs violate WP:V and may indicate potential bad faith (or cluelessness). I'll reconsider if someone will cut this article back to a notable, properly referenced stub -- ping me in that case. --A. B. ^{(talk • contribs • global count)} 03:27, 1 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hello AB, I am working on the article, and editing it down. I should have put it as a draft first, and that is my mistake. Bifty (talk) 19:43, 1 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
