The Freaky Bean Coffee Company (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Coffee company written up by an SPA. Does four locations in Maine, with two more opening in May 2008 make them notable? -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 17:12, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

• KeepWeak keep needs cleaning up, but has some independent sources to assert notability Fritzpoll (talk) 18:40, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
• Neutral for now but concerned that the references are artificially inflated. There are two links to the same article, another that does not go to an article about the company, a spamlink for the designer of the logo, and a blog from the companies own website. The Press-Herald article puts them on the edge for notability, but without any other reliable sources, it seems borderline. Beeblbrox (talk) 20:12, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
• To address some of the concerns, yes, this is my first posting, as I just joined a couple weeks ago. The last time it was deleted because an editor thought it was not neutral enough. I have condensed what I wrote, and resubmitted. While I plan on creating more articles, I don't feel like having all of them deleted before I find out the politics of Wikipedia. References have been cleaned up and added to. Adding a link to the designer shows reference of where it was created, not spam. Also, article link from freakybean.com is not a blog, but a selection of articles they have been included in. Their site does not have a blog. --Magicmonkeymeat (talk) 20:27, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
• Weak Keep, this is a hard one. Seems like it might be notable in some way, but I'm not sure. Let's see if we might can get some more references if possible. Izzy007 Talk 23:33, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

• Keep - It's not exactly world news, but it certainly hits state news regularly enough based on a brief survey I did on google - results talking about it's latest expansion, about it's takeover of the Maine Roaster's business in 2007, about it's eco-friendly image, etc... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Coanda-1910 (talk • contribs) 02:42, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
