Background: articles at this title have been repeatedly been deleted per A7 and G11, and there was an AfD in 2017 which resulted in deletion. More recently, Draft:Fantastic Services (also deleted multiple times per G11) have been the target of multiple socks. Someone very much wants this article to exist. This new recreation is different from previous versions however, and the author does not appear to be related to previous authors (as far as I can detect), so G4 and G5 do not apply. So, I have reviewed the latest version based on its merits. The article is written with a very promotional tone. That could be addressed, but it is supported by zero sources that meet the requirements outlined at WP:NCORP. There are a few impressive-looking sources (UK broadsheet newspapers' websites), but those are all interviews ( WP:INTERVIEW), and do not meet the ' secondary' part of the requirements listed there. There are some obvious rehashed press releases, which do not meet the ' independent' criterion. And, there are some flat-out dodgy sources. I see nothing at all that meets all the criteria: reliable, secondary, independent and giving the subject significant depth (of the WP:CORPDEPTH variety). I have not found any better sources online, and I conclude that the subject is likely non-notable, and should be deleted. Girth Summit (blether) 18:15, 25 April 2023 (UTC) reply

Delete and salt - Blatant LTA spam. Fancy Refrigerator ( talk) 18:30, 25 April 2023 (UTC) reply
Delete and salt with extreme prejudice. This is PROMO, a home services company, ok maybe.... Oh they want to create millionaires with franchising? Nope. Blatant promotional, flowery language. They were mentioned in the sources, but aren't mentioned at length nor are they non-promo. Oaktree b ( talk) 19:17, 25 April 2023 (UTC) reply
Delete: Per nom and Oaktree b. Also consider wrapping the related article Rune Sovndahl up with this one as a poorly sourced BLP with same main editor (now blocked for WP:PAID editing), very similar writing style and issues as this article. Flip Format ( talk) 21:25, 25 April 2023 (UTC) reply
Delete and salt per nomination and Oaktree b. User:Flip Format's suggestion of wrapping Rune Sovndahl in with this nomination is a good one. It was deleted once following WP:Articles for deletion/Rune Sovndahl (entrepreneur), along with a speedy and two prods. Its current incarnation was started at Rune Hoy Sovndahl, in what looks like a second attempt at flying under the radar of watchlists. Uncle Spock ( talk) 04:24, 26 April 2023 (UTC) reply
Comment: It looks like there is now a Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rune Sovndahl. Flip Format ( talk) 11:46, 26 April 2023 (UTC) reply
