CONSIDERED ADVERTISEMENT edit

One of the basic bars an article like this is going to have to meet is notability, which is defined under Wikipedia as being shown by coverage in arm's-length, reliable sources. These are usually things such as newspaper articles and magazine articles, and excludes the sort of "reprinted press releases" common to some local business rags--those sources must be independent and reliable.

My best advice is to start over, and then work at finding those sources. Find out what they talk about, and how. And then write your article based almost entirely on those sources. You can use primary sources to fill in entirely neutral and uncontroversial facts, but the use of primary sources should be a minimum.

This process is likely to be frustrating for you if you take any other path. Thanks.

@Libertydavid: Can you please clarify your specific concern with this article? The source include articles from 5 different newspaper articles, including articles from the Los Angeles Times and The New York Times. What source do you consider to be a "local business rag"? Which source do you consider "primary"? Cbl62 (talk) 18:33, 21 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
