Hi! I took a quick look at your article just now. I will be able to look in more detail later today (US time). At first read, I see a problem with notability. The standard for notability for a company is WP:CORP. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, by definition a tertiary source. That means that we only write about what others are writing about. That is what notability is. In order for an article to be published to the encyclopedia, you have to show notability, that is, that others are writing about it. These sources have to be releable sources, and they have to be covering the subject of the article in detail, as the primary content of the article referenced. You have two references to a New Zeeland newspaper, which is a reliable source, but they only mention the company in passing. If you don't have reliable source coverage of the subject, you don't have an article.
I do not have time to do a detailed read on the article now (at work), but I will read it later and give you feedback on the promo aspect of your question. The above came from checking references, which were either connected to the company (which is fine for non-disputed facts such as address, officers, year of founding, etc) or were trade publications (which are considered connected to the company), or were blog-type websites without fact checking (non-RS). The only truly independent RS you have were the two newspaper articles which I discussed above. Happy editing til then! Gtwfan52 (talk) 16:26, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hello,
Most of what the article is about are things nobody really wants to know, and ought not to be on Wikipedia. I suggest you remove all sources from the company itself and rewrite again by cutting VERY heavily on the article. TheOriginalSoni (talk) 03:17, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It looks like this was a mistake on my part. My apologies! There was a copy-and-paste created of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Cullen Investments, which was deleted. However, as the talk page was associated with the copied page, it was mistakenly auto-deleted. I have re-created the AfC page, which can be accessed via the blue link. Is this what you meant? I wasn't able to find any related page that I deleted under G8. - Vianello (Talk) 15:01, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Theonesean,
As commented by you that company website and linkedin are not reliable sources, but I would like to highlight the fact that:
Can you also suggest me any other changes that are required.
Thanks
