  • Comment: As mentioned, this will still need any additional amount of the best in-depth third-party news sources overall, but not press releases or trivial passing mentions. I believe this will still be too soon though considering the company is somewhat newly founded. SwisterTwister talk 05:04, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
