[edit] Speedy Deletion?

• Don't delete. This article, albeit short and already labeled as a stub, is about a toy and game company based in Indiana. I have started creating articles about some of Fundex Games' products, including Phase 10 and Phase 10 Dice. - Seinfreak37 18:41, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed Deletion

• This article is no longer marked as a Speedy Deletion candidate, but is now just a proposed deletion. Color me confused, I guess. Fundex Games lists well over 100 different card and board games on their website that they produce. Granted, few have articles about them at this time. Would listing every product they manufacture be enough to warrant this article sticking around? I would hate to take the time to do this and find out my efforts were for nothing. What makes the Fundex Games company article a candidate for deletion when other company stubs exist with even less content, or with fewer related articles? I simply created this article after working on both the Phase 10 and Phase 10 Dice articles and seeing that their producing company had no article. Why rush to delete this article before allowing other wikipedians to improve upon it? - Seinfreak37 02:55, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
  • The original article read very much like an advert, which is not allowed on Wikipedia. If the article is to remain on Wikipedia, then it must remain neutral and encyclopedic. In addition, the topic must meet certain guidlines regarding notability. Wikipedia cannot have an article about every company in every country. Please take a look at WP:CORP for these guidlines.

    • I will contest that the original article read like an advert, since it was NPOV, but regardless, after 10 minutes of Googling, I have found the following references of Fundex Games: Press release from iParenting Media Awards in which Fundex Games won 5 "Hottest Products for 2004" awards and another iParenting Media Awards press release in which Fundex Games won a "Best Products of 2006" award. Additionally, in October 2005, Fundex earned an Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Award that was announced on NBC's Today Show. I'm still trying to completely understand the guidelines at WP:CORP - are these not "multiple non-trivial published works?" They are probably still trivial, I guess. But is that guideline too overly strict? Say I were to write encyclopediac articles about all 100+ games that Fundex Games manufactures, all of which reference the fact that Fundex is their manufacturer. Are you telling me that despite 100 articles referencing the Fundex Games company that an article about said company isn't warranted? Perhaps a category would be better? Just trying to understand. -Seinfreak37 13:28, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
