@ArcticAuk2: Even if true, it's directly copied from a press release and is promotional. If you need to take time to create an article, I'd suggest doing so as a draft otherwise you run the risk of deletion. Here is more information on creating your first article. Cheers Chrissymad ❯❯❯ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@chrissymad, I will take away the press release link as I realise it makes it seem as if the contribution is promotional. Thank you for your feedback. Quick question: how does one use material from the owner's website that the owner has allowed for me to use? How do I communicate that to wikipedia so it doesn't indicate that there is a copyright issue? --ArcticAuk2 (talk) 17:38, 23 December 2016 (UTC)

The issue here is that you still can't copy and paste even if it isn't a copyvio. Additionally, there is no indication of notability, that is not to say it isn't notable, just that the article as written does not adequately source and present the notability. Are there independent, reliable sources? It looks like the current sources are primary sources or press releases which do not establish notability. Chrissymad ❯❯❯ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
