[edit] Art Food Fun

I believe it to be advertising, discovered it under DotCom People category which was inappropriate and under many other inappropriate categories. From the history it appears to be the work of one user apart from some minor corrections. Not encyclopedic Jamesmorrison 21:32, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

• Delete per nomination. - Jamesmorrison 21:32, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
• Comment - I notice half their products have "snake oil" in the title too! :) --MacRusgail 21:56, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
• Please Do Not Delete - Comment I was providing information on my business to the international internet community, I searched many other business articles and used many of the same things that I found on their wiki pages. I did not think I was doing something incorrect by copying the templates and ideas of many other business wiki pages. If I have made a mistake, I would please love to know what it is so that I can rectify the problem immediately. I worked long and hard to find and verify all of the information that I put into this page. Please advise instead of deleting. I do not wish to offend or break any rules. Snak Oil IS the name of my most popular product. I do not think a product name would be grounds for deletion? I admittedley do not know what categories to put my business' wiki page under as it encompasses so much. How id the entry not encyclopedic? I have included everything on the subject except for my business's address, and product pricing (which even I beleive would be advertising, and thus; innapropriate). I was also not aware that a person making an entry was supposed to not enter all of their knowlege into the database upon editing a page if said information did not exist in the article. Was I mistaken? I have modified the article to adapt further to the rules as I understand them. All news articles are verifyable by any person by calling the companies that printed the articles or doing a search at the Springfield public library's news archives site. I would love some assistance please. I may be contacted at kryistina@yahoo.com if anyone would like to give me additional advice. - Kryistina 21:39, 22 October 2005 (CST)
  • Kryistina - I didn't vote to delete (not yet anyway), but I thought "Snake Oil" was quite an amusing name for a product.--MacRusgail 16:47, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Notwithstanding the comments from Kryistina, I fail to see how this comes anywhere close to WP:CORP. Furthermore, for the life of me, I can't understand the obsession of small business owners to have an advertising page on the wiki. Wouldn't you rather have potential customers go directly to your website where they might actually buy something? --JJay 16:12, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
