Comment: Despite 3 previous comments from reviewers while declining it urged to introduce sources to sections/statements that were uncited, the creator hadn't complied. Given that the user has already declared a COI, this draft warranted a thorough evaluation, and each reviewer was unsatisfied with the sourcing, quality, depth, and also lack of them. Despite multiple instructions on introducing sources, the creator just kept re-submitted without obliging.Moreover, the sources inserted are mostly passing mentions, no in-depth analysis of the company whatsoever is noticeable on the internet even via my own research. In some rare instances, a publication can be considered notable if it is cited/mentioned by reputable pubs substantially/regularly. Which is also not the case here.Given the sensitivity of this draft, a reject was imminent from the start if instructions weren't followed. X (talk) 15:00, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

Madison's Lumber Reporter is a Canadian-based weekly forest industry products guide providing softwood lumber commodity price information.
The publication[1] was established in 1952 by Peter Madison, in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
Madison's Lumber Reporter focuses on tracking the current market trends of North American home building and construction framing softwood lumber and panel prices. The periodical publishes its reports for 50 weeks out of the year.
History edit
Madison's Lumber Reporter started as an 8-page newsletter covering the various softwood species, products, sizes and grades . The first issue was September 15, 1952.
In 1973 Peter Madison sold the company to Laurence Cater. Laurie and Peter worked together for five years. Over time Laurie took on Editor John Freisen and in the early 1980s Madison's hired Zara Heartwood as Market Analysis Editor. In the 1990s, Ward Johnson became Editor.
By then the newsletter had grown to 12-pages, full of weekly lumber market and price data for the forest industry and the building materials industry.
In 2008, Laurence Cater retired and sold Madison's to existing staff member Keta Kosman. Four years later, Zara Heartwood retired and Earl Heath was brought on as market analysis editor. The company underwent a significant transformation in 2018 when the weekly PDF newsletter was upgraded to an interactive dashboard tool.
Lumber price data is used by the forest products industry, specifically sawmills, to determine where the market is and to make plans for their near-term future operations. It is also used by the housing construction industry, as lumber is the greatest input cost for home builders and contractors.
