[edit] Tairus

First person advertising for a company making artificial gems. Was speedied in August. The person who reposted it today vandalised a couple of my pages first so I am allowing them an AfD debate to show them that it is not just my opinion. (Of course you may all vote "cleanup" - which would be equally OK.) -- RHaworth 07:06, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete Obvious ad, non-notable. Jasmol 07:10, 16 November 2005 (UTC) Withdrawing delete vote. Jasmol 15:25, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, advertising. --User:Angr/talk 07:17, 16 November 2005 (UTC)Keep Anetode's rewrite. --User:Angr/talk 13:08, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
• Alternatively redirect to Vladimir Gurov since that article has been accepted. -- RHaworth 07:20, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Spam. Speedy if possible. --Nlu 07:26, 16 November 2005 (UTC)In light of Anetode's revisions, neutral. --Nlu 08:57, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep & Clean up per WP:CORP. Tairus appears notable in the field of gemology, see mentions at Gemological Institute of America's quarterly: [1], [2] The company has also developed several gems that are sometimes prefixed with "Tairus" [3], meeting the genericization criterion. --anetode╔╝ 07:50, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

I just rewrote the article, it's no longer spammy in tone. --anetode╔╝ 08:54, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep per Anetode's rewrite. - Mgm|^(talk) 11:37, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
• I will only go as far as changing my vote to abstain and suggest that all votes above Anetode's comment should be ignored since it is a complete re-write. -- RHaworth 11:46, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Ignoring them is no longer needed, they've all been changed in light of the rewrite. - Mgm|^(talk) 20:01, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as rewritten. Just because a company posts its own Wiki entry doesn't mean that it lacks merit as an entry. Jtmichcock 02:58, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
  • No, but spamming should be a big mark against it. --Nlu 06:08, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Preaky 06:42, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
