[edit] NPOV

This page seems to have a bit of a bias - it seems like it's advertising and pushing for Argo Teas. I edited a few small things to make it seem less like that, because the article itself is great, but I'd like other people to take a look and chime in. Thanks! Verloren Hoop 20:50, 1 June 2006 (UTC

[edit] TTT Response

Aside from the prospect of going public everything else is just passing along factual information gleaned in a discussion with workers (including management) at the store.

[edit] Questioning objectivity

Any article on a corporate entity is going to be a little bit of a sales pitch. Selling tea is what they do. I don't see an issue with it so long as they're not saying their better than anyone in particular or making specific offers or claims in the article.

[edit] removing objection

Given the last change removing the prospect of going public, I think I can remove the question of objectivity.

[edit] Yanksox neutrality objection

Yanksox, please tell me what statement you question the neutrality of. If it is the store projections, I spoke with management at a visit. All the employees will tell you about the 5th and 6th stores. It is possible that you might be correct in questioning the objectivity of 2007 projections because I am not sure if an it has been released to the public officially yet. Let me know if this is the only objection. Tony The Tiger 14:18, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sources

There are still not non-trivial published sources independent of the company. I am considering a re-afd. - CrazyRussian talk/email 19:13, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. It has come along, but not at the pace that I had hoped. Has it been mentioned in any Chicagoland news sources ro magazines recently? youngamerican (ahoy-hoy) 19:23, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

How many times are you going to afd it before the vote of no-consensus will matter? TheQuandry 22:56, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Not too many. Basically, as long as it continues to fail core WP policies. - CrazyRussian talk/email 22:58, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] References and External Links added

I've added a number of independent references and external links. This clearly meets WP:V and WP:CORP. TheQuandry 20:04, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
