Somme comments

• Note that the article title should be just "Henley & Partners. We don't include LTd, LLC, Corp, Pvt or similar. Doesn't matter here, but fix it when you move to article space.
• headings should follow normal capitalisation, eg "Social responsibility"
• One of your refs needs fixing, and there is another that's a bare url
• I'd be inclined to lose all those one paragraph subsections. Lots of second level headings looks messy and "shopping list" appearance looks spammy
• Although the tone is better, it's still all about what you sell, little about the company. From your draft, I don't know if you have two employees or 2,000. You talk about "The companies of the group" only in passing. I understand that Jersy-based companies are famously secretive, but I think it's a problem that you can tell us nothing about the company (group?) beyond what it sells.
• Avoid weasel words like "innovative" "independent" and "distinguished". That's particularly the case when your secrecy means we have no way of even having an opinion on whether your award body is either independent or distinguished

Although it's better, if it were in article space I would be inclined to speedy delete again. We have no indication of why the company is notable other than you telling us it is, and without any real factual content, it boils down to "this is what we sell". I'll be interested to see what the Draft reviewer says (I don't think it's in your interest for me to do a formal review. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 12:29, 29 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think your changes to the history are a retrograde measure

• Easy bit: While its origins date back more than 45 years— better to give a starting year as the time elapsed will become dated
• The real problem is that we now have a COI editor littering an article with loaded terms, despite my comments above —small but successful... becoming an expert... placing Henley & Partners ahead of all its competitors... The program's success... Following the success...— whether you think these terms are justified or not, you are not the person to make those judgements, and you are effectively saying to passing admin "please delete this". Draft space gives some protection, but texts can still be speedy deleted if they stray too far.

We have created a full entry for the Henley & Partners - Kochenov Quality of Nationality Index, titled same. There is currently a page called 'Quality of Nationality Index', which is directed to the Henley & Partners. We need to delete both the Quality of Nationality Index page and the redirect action. The Henley & Partners - Kochenov Quality of Nationality Index page should be the only entry for this index. Help? Baffled by the innerworkings of Wikipedia.
