[edit] Arkatents

Arkatents (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) - (View log)

All substantial edits on this article have been made by what is probably a single editor (one registered user and, later, an IP address). The only other edits by the registered user involve inserting references to Arkatents into other articles (such as L.L. Bean. The registered user removed a speedy deletion tag at least nine times. The bulk of the article now is actually camping tips copied from the Arkatents website and now there is language in the article about Arkatents retaining rights to the material. The information about the company (such as company history) is a relatively late addiion to the article. Originally, the article was little more than just a link to the website. There is still no information about notability. I shared WP:CORP information with the editor after I realized they were not going to stop removing the speedy deletion tag and there is still nothing in the article.

• Speedy Delete Blatant advertising. Putting in some 'useful camping tips' (also non-encyclopedic anyway) does not prevent it from being spam. CiaranG 12:44, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

??? What is this ??? It's certainly not an encyclopaedia entry, more like a 'How To..' guide with spam thrown in and the 'Courtesy of Arkatents™ Outdoor Gear' is beyond the pale. Get rid of this. Delete Emeraude 13:08, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
