Inadequate references for notability The references are insubstantial or promotional. The wired one, which is the best, is nonetheless written as an advertorial. DGG (

Keep Frustratingly, news about merchandising companies will almost always be PR. Even though the sources are PR, they are PR about customer-facing deals with several high-profile companies, which lends notability in a different way.
