Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hi-Mart

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was No consensus, defaults to keep. I was tempted to re-re-list this, since even after two trips through AfD, it got precious little participation, but I suspect it won't get any more attention the third time. If anybody feels stongly that this should be deleted, don't even bother with WP:DRV, just go ahead and relist it on AfD again. --RoySmith 02:20, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Hi-Mart

Not only is it not notable, but much of the text in the article is suspiciously identical to that of Hi-Living and Jeonja Land, which were added by the same user... wikipediatrix 04:30, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Comment Though it appears to be a large enough operation to merit inclusion, the similarity to the other two entries you cite is reason for suspicion. Anyone out there know Korean (or know a bit more about Korean culture/business)? Jasmol 07:16, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Maybe drop a note on the Wikipedia talk:Korea-related topics notice board? I haven't done so yet. - Mgm|(talk) 11:28, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

This AfD nomination did not gather enough votes for consensus. Relisting. Please add your comments below this line. — JIP | Talk 13:13, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

FYI: here are the links to the 3 companies from quick searches:

  • himart, founded 1999, definitely legitimate [1]
  • jeonja land, founded 1988, definitely legitimate [2]
  • hi-living seems to be an amway-type multi-level marketing scheme [3] [4]

the contents of the 3 articles do not seem accurate for any of the three companies.Appleby 17:47, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
