Fails WP:NCORP/WP:ORGCRIT and the broader WP:GNG. The article is sourced to only two items:

• a one‑paragraph Bloomberg wire about Ceridian’s 1995 purchase (reprinted in *The New York Times*) – routine transaction coverage; and
• Fleetcor’s own 2014 investor news release announcing its $3.45 billion acquisition – a primary, self‑published source.

Database searches (Factiva/Lexis/Google News) locate nothing more substantial than brief Reuters market notes on the 2014 deal and similar M&A rumours – all explicitly WP:ROUTINE business disclosures lacking the in‑depth, independent, secondary analysis required by policy. No major newspaper, magazine, journal, or book offers sustained coverage of the company itself. AndesExplorer (talk) 19:17, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
