Submission declined on 23 April 2023 by Greenman (talk). This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies. Declined by Greenman 12 months ago.

• Comment: The vast majority of sources only mention 1985 in passing. I see no in-depth coverage. Also, please read WP:Citation overkill, and remove redundant citations. Remember that 100 poor sources is no better than 1 good source.
  In addition, ImdB is user generated(a wiki like this one) and is unreliable. Please remove it.
  The Philanthropy section is all about Tom Jennings and not the company itself Ca ^{talk to me!} 11:09, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

  WP:DCOI needs fixing, you've wrapped the template in a nowiki tag so that it doesn't render. Greenman (talk
