Comment: Arkansas Business largely relies on what those affiliated say, including their plans, etc. The Stuttgarter Zeitung gives an overview of the event and also includes independent coverage by experts critical of the company (how they get around German laws prohibiting pyramid schemes and sales tactics) so that one does count toward notability but that critical coverage needs to be included for NPOV. The Wirtschaftswoche is mostly about the industry rather than Lifeplus specifically and also critical (i.e. there's no need for Germans to buy supplements). One source is not enough establish notability though.

- Comment: Hello
S0091, thanks for having a look at the draft. I would say though that the source coverage is sufficient to meet WP:NCORP. The article cites Stuttgarter Zeitung, Wirtschaftswoche, and Arkansas Business. These sources are all secondary, may be deemed independent and reliable, and they all discuss the subject in significant detail. I would also like to ask, what do you reckon needs improving for the article to meet WP:NPOV? --
