 Not done @EmSpadafore: I didn't do any of the other requests because of concerns about the sources. We want to use independent sources, and not those controlled by the company. There are two reasons for this: 1 - independent sources are more reliable, and 2- if there's no independent coverage, the item isn't considered notable enough to include. Leaving open in case you want to revise the request with better sources. STEMinfo (talk) 23:40, 5 May 2026 (UTC)
