Blatant advertising by an advertisement-only account, everything here is no different than what you would find at their own "About and PR Room" sections and that's self-explanatory, regardless of anything because WP:NOT explicitly states we are a not a PR webhost, and it's quite clear this is what the article. When we start compromising with such blatancy, we're damned because it shows we can't even remove the worst advertising existing. There will be no amount of sufficient news because this is literally only 4 months old and it's clear this company is behind any attention about it.

Note: I would like to chime in and mention that my account is not an "advertisement-only account" I am simply new and need to start somewhere. I am learning the ropes here (not with the greatest acceptance so far) and am playing by the rules I am told at my best. If you read the article the company is almost 2 years old (not 4 months, that was a launch date if you need me to change that in the side bar, let me know) and there is an article included that mentions this specifically.

question How many referal sources are you suggesting there should be for pages? Obviously from trusted and non advertising sources. I only ask because I see other approved pages with only 3 sources. I believe the references used follow the guides and suggestions I have been given. Clearly I am new, so just trying to learn and understand here. Mcmrose (talk) 22:40, 2 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
