[edit] Notice: This article lacks WP:A to establish WP:CORP

In my opinion, this article either lacks sufficient Attribution that it satisfies the Notability criteria for Organizations and companies, or it may violate the Conflict of interest guideline, or perhaps it is a Copyright violation.

Wikipedia articles must be based on reliable sources to verify any claims of notability. Even though the lack of reliable source attribution in an article is not grounds for deletion in itself, an article with absolutely no sources (or only external links to unreliable ones) suggests to some editors that multiple reliable sources may not, in fact, exist.

Although I am considering tagging this article for deletion according to the Deletion policy, I am nonetheless willing to assist User:Becs6452 (talk · contribs), and other recent contributors to this article, to make constructive improvements to it ... I do not have time to examine this article in depth at the moment, and it may improve over time, in which case this warning was premature.

Please respond on this Discussion page, instead of on my Talk page, in order to avoid fragmenting the conversation.

The biggest problem is that most of the "references" are the pub's own web site, making it a primary source ... you should also check out the {{Cite web}} and {{Cite news}} templates to properly format the citations ... look at some of the other articles (like CDS Global) for examples of how it is used Happy Editing! — 72.75.78.69 (talk · contribs) _{21:41, 27 May 2008 (UTC)}
