[edit] Sunglow Tanning Spa

Sunglow Tanning Spa (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) - (View log)

The page was speedily deleted once and promptly recreated. The creator of the article has said (on the discussion page) that multiple, non-trivial references to this FL tanning salon exist, but that they are under no obligation to cite any of them to establish notability. This seems to be a pretty cut and dried case of WP:N. There is absolutely no reason to think that this tanning salon varies from any of the hundreds of tanning salons in the United States, despite the link to their myspace page. janejellyroll 10:18, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

I created the page. I have no influence on said company. All the information I wrote on the article were what I remembered from a newspaper article about the store from a girl I knew in high school. This page has no instances of self-promotion. There is no advertisement, price list, nor specific list of items and services sold. The reason to think that this tanning salon varies from any of the hundreds of tanning salons in the United States is that I got all the information used to write it from a published periodical, which did not publish the tanning salon article as an advertisement and was not the owners and operators of the store "tooting their own own." It was written by a staff member. This qualifies under the rules of notability. Mghabmw 10:38, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

This also seems to be a personal attack. Just because on might not personally not care about Sunglow Tanning Spa, in this case, most people, it does not make it non-noteworthy. Apparently, a Florida periodical tended to care as do I for writing an entry on someone I met 10 years ago in NJ.Mghabmw 10:52, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Speedy Delete - Incredibly cut and dry, as per WP:N and WP:CORP. Unless some assertion of notability is made with citations then the page shouldn't be here. -- Y|yukichigai (ramble argue check) 11:25, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

There is no mention to cite sources. I don't have the article handy, but I believe it was the Daytona Beach News-Journal sometime in 2006. Mghabmw 13:18, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Speedy delete, he's not fooling anyone --frothT 16:27, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete it as per all of the above and WP:Soapbox. Darthgriz98 18:06, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm not fooling anyone? I don't give a rat's ass if you believe me or not, I know what I read. Don't make bullshit guidelines when I'm trying to follow them and then call me a liar because you don't care for an article. 63.136.119.82 18:09, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
