Comment: When this draft had been rejected on 12 November, it was tagged for deletion by its creator, and then recreated on 14 November by a different user. This new draft is only very superficially different from the old one, so the rejection still stands. bonadea contributions talk 09:35, 14 November 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: See WP:NCORP and WP:CORPDEPTH. None of the sources meets all the criteria, and it is evident that the "delete" result of the deletion discussion in 2021, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Simplilearn (2nd nomination), still applies. bonadea contributions talk 10:50, 12 November 2025 (UTC)
