  • Comment: The first eight references are all the same news, except one. Please provide independent, in-depth secondary sourcing that satisfies WP:SIRS. scope_creepTalk 18:39, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
  • Comment: Way to many primary sources- needs to be majority sourced by non-press releases from independent secondary sources that give significant coverage. Also- get rid of weasel words and predictions that sounds like publicity release instead of encyclopedia content- unless a prediction is notable for some reason- it doesn't belong in the article.

  • Comment: Fails WP:NCOMPANY. The Troutman and PepperLaw websites are primary sources, as are press release by the law firm. Requires significant coverage in multiple independent reliable secondary sources. Dan arndt (talk) 07:23, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
