[edit] Split Bean Coffee

Non-notable company. A preliminary attempt to determine notability was conducted through a straw poll (found here) because I didn't know if it was kosher to start an AfD when I myself wasn't sure how I'd vote at that time (it seems like a nomination is a de facto "delete" vote, and possibly a bad faith nomination otherwise, so while I may be wrong I wanted to play it safe). No one who participated in the straw poll thought the company was notable, so it's now becoming an AfD to decide the ultimate fate of the article. --Icarus (Hi!) 18:01, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete although it would only take another significant source or so to sway me. As of now, though, it doesn't meet WP:CORP. --djrobgordon 18:34, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep non-notability is not a reason for deletion, and there is nothing wrong with the article. It is short and factual.   — Chris Capoccia T⁄C 19:30, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment technically, one of those is an essay and the other is proposed policy. I strongly support them, however, because without them WP:VAIN becomes meaningless. --Icarus (Hi!) 23:31, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: Chris Capoccia is correct. Non-notability is not a criterion for deletion except in certain circumstances, and it is quite irritating that people keep using it as such. — Reinyday, 15:54, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
  • In all circumstances, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, with a minimum threshhold of significance below which articles are not included. You may disagree about where that threshhold is or whether a certain article meets it, but nevertheless others have given that threshhold the name "notability", and it is a valid criterion for deletion. —Centrx→talk • 06:21, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete very worthy but Top Five Artisan Marshmallows doesn't amount to notability IMHO Dlyons493 Talk 21:02, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Does not warrant an encyclopedia article. See also WP:CORP and Talk:Split Bean Coffee#Straw Poll. —Centrx→talk • 06:23, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
