Working for Camden Council does not mean your company deserves an entry on wikipedia.
Now this is precisely the kind of statement that I find problematic on Wikipedia. Camden is a major London borough--the NHS trust and the British multinational oil company BP, who are also customers who have used this company's product for major operations involving decisions on the commitment of hundreds of millions of pounds, are also major concerns. That this company produces a product that was entrusted by all three (and these three chosen at random from a dozen or so) counts for rather a lot. It is not to be written off by facile, thoughtless statements such as the above.
Ah you have expanded the detail, made more of a justification of notability. Once you add "hundereds of millions of pounds", add that these were only a few of the customers.
Typical example of the article that as a stub doesnt appear notable but when expanded seems obviously reasonable.
Maybe an {{inprogress}} tag would be usefulo for people making stubs that they want to do bit by bit.
That does seem a good idea.
I've been on this list ofr a few days but this is my first post.
