Sorry, I'm rejecting this article draft as written. The sourcing and citations need to be cleaned up: first of all, never cite Wikipedia as a source. That can lead to circular referencing, which causes many potential problems with verifying whether facts are true, since article A ends up citing article B, but article B relies on article A...it just creates more problems for editors down the road. Second, all the references to press releases must also go, as they are not considered reliable sources. As a matter of style, articles never append "™" or "®" to products. Finally, as a whole the draft has a slightly promotional tone: mentions of "awards" and "premier brands" are all red flags signalling the article is not as neutral as it should be. I highly suggest submitting this draft under the articles for creation rather than flagging it as a requested COI edit. Unfortunately, both processes can be very slow, but in my experience article for creation has many more active monitors, whereas I am one of the few requested edits patrollers remaining. Thanks for your understanding. Altamel (talk) 20:30, 3 November 2015 (UTC)Reply
