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.) DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:22, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
