- Comment: PRNewsWire is a deprecated source, please remove itYou need substantially more references or substantially less textWe require references from significant coverage about the topic of the article, and independent of it, in multiple WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources. Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact referred to, that meet these tough criteria is likely to allow this article to remain. Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the topic is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me🇺🇦 20:00, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
