Comment: After various denials by ther reviewers and a Google search from my part, I conclude that the topic is not notable. Sorry. Earth605talk 19:48, 15 November 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: Once again, we are not interested in what someone from this organisation has said or done, we are interested in what independent and reliable secondary sources have said about this organisation. DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:06, 11 September 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: Absolutely no changes whatever have been made to the text of the draft to address the reasons for its last submission being declined. It is a total waste of time to resubmit it without making any attempt at all to correct the problems which make if unsuitable to be an article. JBW (talk) 22:39, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: Please do not resubmit this article without improving the tone of the article; in its current state, it has very less chances of being accepted TNM101 (chat) 07:57, 23 February 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: We don't want to see what representatives of the PBF have said about things, we want to see what independent and reliable sources have said about the PBF. DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:43, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Additional references in independent and reliable sources are required in order to demonstrate notability per WP:NORG or WP:GNG. Hitro talk 18:13, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
