[edit] Hero Clothing

Non-notable company fails WP:CORP. One of their primary vehicles of advertising is myspace. I prod'ed, author removed tag. I'm listing here. alphaChimp ^laudare 02:44, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - From the MySpace page: "Im josh.. i work at mcDonalds.. im hoping to make manager soon.... "[sic] Not notable and the origin story needs verification. --Transfinite 02:53, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Delete - can this be speedied? HawkerTyphoon 03:09, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

  Sadly, I don't think it meets any of the criteria. Gwernol 03:11, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

  Speedy under A8 - copyvio? It's all copied from his website. HawkerTyphoon 03:19, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

  Maybe... If I had originally felt it was a speedy, I would have deleted it a while ago. That casts it in a little of a different light though. I think it's a conflict of interest for me to delete it, but that's not to stop somebody else from doing it. alphaChimp ^laudare 03:44, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

  Withdrawn my speedy suggestion per Gwernol's reasoning :-) HawkerTyphoon 03:58, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

• Strong Delete Large parts of the article are unverifiable - even their website makes no mention of "10 stores" for example, which I suspect is untrue. Beyond one website and the myspace page, this seems to be a non-existent company that clearly fails WP:CORP. I wonder if they even sell clothes? Wikipedia is not advertising space.

  Note The "10 stores" claim was changed after I made this comment ([1]). Gwernol 03:20, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete for failing WP:CORP. It's just not either notable or verifiable enough. That may change someday, and I wish the best of luck to the company's founder in that regard, but it's not ready for Wikipedia by our standards yet. Antandrus (talk) 03:49, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete— fails WP:CORP Williamborg (Bill) 05:04, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
• Largely unverifiable; Wikipedia is not the place for publishing a business plan. Delete without prejudice: recreate the article when the company meets the criteria at WP:CORP. --RobertG ♬ talk 08:54, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - The article is unencyclopedic in tone, is written entirely by one person whose only contributions are related to this article. According to Alexa, the only page that links to heroclothing.com is the MySpace profile. Obviously Wikipedia itself hasn't yet been noticed, but one site? This is advertising written for a non-notable company, probably by an employee/the owner, and filled with unverifiable information.--Dreaded Walrus 10:14, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Nigel ^(Talk) 12:01, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom and NN. --DieHard2k5 01:45, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
• Do not delete. there are some links I found on google that link to this site. The site looks to be credible. Typing in "heroclothing.com" brings up about 7 pages of results on google and some of those links are news releases on the company.--JohnnyD06 21:16, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Comment: User's first edit. And 7 results on Google does not fulfill notability. Heck, my mom has more than 7 results on google. =] --DieHard2k5 01:20, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Comment: Again, if you're readin this, Josh Ellis - Please read WP:N. If you don't fit in, we can't have you in. Simple as that. HawkerTyphoon 01:26, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
