[edit] ASDA Smart Price

ASDA Smart Price (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This should be a trivial entry on the ASDA page, not a full encyclopedia article. Neither Tesco nor Sainsbury's comparable Value or Basics brands have articles. And where do we draw the line?? Tesco Finest, Sainsbury's Taste the Difference... at some point we're just advertising. Mark83 21:28, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete/Merge into ASDA I largely agree with Mark83. It does read like an extended advert, [although I am happy to assume created in good faith]. I see no precedent for creating articles for own/sub brands of supermarkets, and I feel that so far this article has done little to assert that it's significant in its own.

    • Sorry, let me take the opportunity to say I too assume good faith. Mark83 21:52, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge per Suncloud. Jefferson Anderson 22:02, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Possibly merge. Advert and needs to go. JBEvans 22:03, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge/Redirect to main article. Abeg92contribs 00:11, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
  • I speedied this first time it was created, although I would accept on reflection that an AfD might have been better since this is not really blatant advertising and is good faith. Merge jimfbleak 05:03, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
  • weak keep and trim The subject is probably notable--some of the cntents is not, and thereshould be reviews from Which? andsimilar magazines. DGG 05:33, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge - if George Clothing doesn't get its own article (the market leading brand of school kid clothing in the UK by financial volume sold), and is merged into the main Asda article; then why should ASDA Smart price have its own article? More of an advert than an article. Rgds, - Trident13 10:36, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
  • The article was written in good faith, I assumed since there were article's for other private labels such as Duraband that this would be OK. However having read the article back I can see the point about advertising and agree with the rationale for its listing and have no problem with either deletion or merging.
