Deletion edit

I decided to nominate this for deletion rather than try to clean it up because, although it has been around for quite a while, most of it is very closely paraphrased from the organization's own website and it is written in a very promotional tone.

Contested deletion edit

This page is not unambiguously promotional, because the company more than likely passes WP:CORPDEPTH. Doesn't appear overly promotional, so I don't think speedy is in order. --Niteshift36 (talk) 04:28, 6 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

Would you still feel that way if the history section, which was practically taken from the company's website and more than likely a copyright violation, was removed? I was going to remove that section per WP:BOLD, but decided to just speedy it because the remaining article would be the short intro and the section about the foundation, which the company "proudly" supports.

  • Just because it was written poorly doesn't mean the only reason the article exists is to be promotional. Changing the tone and style is different from deleting it completely. Niteshift36 (talk) 15:39, 6 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
