Grow shop

edit

I think you need to decide what this article is about. Some of it relates to Hydroponics, some to greenhouses, some to garden shops, and I think you actually are trying to write an article about Marijuana 'grow shops'. It's confusing because there aren't 380 marijuana grow shops in the UK, which seems to be what your article is saying. Plus, we can't have commercial links unless of course they are in the article of a company. Please read WP:EL. Let me know if you have some questions. You also should read WP:RS and fine some sources, read WP:CITE to see how to cite them. Dougweller (talk) 10:54, 16 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Hydroponics.eu Grow Shop

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Hydroponics.eu Grow Shop requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.
