[edit] Ham's Automotive
Wikipedia is not an advertising medium. You'll have to provide some evidence that this company meets our guideline at WP:CORP. User:Zoe|(talk) 02:16, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
Advertising is advertising, I don't care if the store gets a mention in a newspaper, it's still not a notable establishment. User:Zoe|(talk) 20:41, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Mediation Cabal
Please realize that although Wikipedia is a free encylopedia, there is some guidelines in creating new articles.
- From WP:CORP, The barometer of notability is whether people independent of the subject itself (or of its manufacturer, creator, or vendor) have actually considered the company, corporation, product or service notable enough that they have written and published non-trivial works that focus upon it.
The Grand Rapid Press issued two news reports, in 1990 and 1992, concerning Ham's Automotive. However, do note that these two news reports were issued more than 10 years ago. It also seems that you engaged in advertising Ham's Automotive, which is also not allowed under WP:NOT. Olorin28 03:26, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
