[edit] Olympia Flooring and Tile

• It's an ad, for sure, but Olympia is hardly not notable. Abstain for now, just because I hate seeing commercial interests get space in Wikipedia. Denni☯ 05:13, 2005 Jun 19 (UTC)

• Comment. I wouldn't call this advertising:

1. It reports factually what the company does. It does not offer glowing reviews of its products and services.
2. There is no link to a website where an interested potential customer might go shopping for flooring and tile, which is the first thing I would add if I were going to try to use Wikipedia to promote a business.

Having said this, I don't really know how this adds to Wikipedia, or what a reader would gain from reading this. While Olympia is a pretty big tile seller in Toronto (I went last weekend), there are a lot of tile sellers. Ground Zero 13:31, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Post closing comment - Olympia Flooring and Tile is certainly deserving of an article, it is the first of the Reichmann family's firms and was the start of their business empire. The deleted article was not very good, I have thus written a new stub.
