[edit] Galaxy Army Navy Store

I do not believe this meets the notability requirements for a company as per WP:CORP and Articles for deletion/Precedents (companies). Though not necessarily relevant, the store's URLs http://www.galaxyarmynavy.com/ and http://www.wholesalearmynavy.com/ have respective Alexa rankings of 506,587 and 1,360,048 (Wikipedia:Search engine test).

  • Delete - no assertion of notability. Metamagician3000 05:00, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom, fails WP:CORP. Also note that the editor(s) of this article have inserted links to their site in many other pages. This is a clear case of self-promotion. --Elkman - (talk) 05:01, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment I also believe it is a case of self-promotion, but purposely neglected to mention it. -- CopperMurdoch 05:09, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete non-notable & per WP:CORP. --Srikeit(talk ¦ ✉) 00:23, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment Just because the Galaxy Army Navy Store is related to other businesses that may be notable does necessarily make it notable. WP:WEB is irrelevant because it deals specifically with web-based content. Note 7 asserts that simply because content is hosted on a well-known site (specifically sites that allow anyone to upload content) does not qualify the content as notable. As far as I can tell, this has nothing to do with this situation. I and others had suspected this article was a case of self-promotion and now you have said as much. This contrary to section 1.4 of Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. -- CopperMurdoch 23:50, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment I never said this page was a case of advertisement, I said it was a case of self-promotion. Further, I've already explained why I think the other sources you've cited aren't significant to the discussion. I'm sorry that you feel this is a personal attack, but personal attacks are by definition against a user, not a page. "Comment on content, not on the contributor" Wikipedia:No personal attacks. I’m not trying to be rude, but I get the feeling that you are not reading these policies before you refer to them. Referring to policies and citing sources will not affect my view unless they are relevant to the discussion. -- CopperMurdoch 09:38, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:SPAM and WP:WEB. Note to sambousak: a personal attack is necessarily against a person. Nobody has made any personal attacks. Stifle (talk) 10:15, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment based on what has been submitted from other sources this is a personal attack against this page specifically, no form of advertisement is being made http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:No_personal_attacks, if you decide to delete the page i would like all the others i have submitted be done the same than no bias actions will be acted upon as being done now -- sambousak
    • Comment sambousak, again I'm not trying to start a conflict, but it seems as if you are not reading the comments we've left, nevermind the policies themselves. To quote what Stifle, an admin, left above: "a personal attack is necessarily against a person". -- CopperMurdoch 10:09, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: Again, there is no personal attack being made here. However, if you wish to nominate other articles for deletion, feel free to do so. See Wikipedia:Deletion process for further information. Stifle (talk) 14:32, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
