A company that barely passes WP:ORG. I can't find any good sources about the company. Most references used in the article are from an unreliable website called WilmingtonBiz. 𝓡𝔂𝓭𝓮𝔁 07:42, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I don't think this does pass notability standards for WP:ORG. The sourcing is almost entirely from a local trade publication and many of the mentions butt up against WP:ORGTRIV (an example of something being discussed) and WP:AUD. The one national source is AdWeek and as a weekly WP:TRADES, an interview about the company's pivot from direct mail to email marketing doesn't seem to establish notability. In one of the local trade mentions, however, the company does make the claim that is was the first to offer custom logo t-shirts, but source doesn't seem reliable enough to back that claim and I could find nothing to help verify. Also, their Zap Tee app doesn't seem to be notable or in existence. MertenMerten (talk) 01:44, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
