[edit] The Longaberger Company

The Longaberger Company (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Article fails WP:NOTABILITY. Self-promotion and product placement are not the routes to having an encyclopaedia article. Hu12 (talk) 20:35, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Improve - Although the Longaberger is well known and probably notable enough in and out of the industry, the article is not well referenced, thus looks suspiciously like original research. I'm sure that there are reliable third party sources. They were once featured on the TV show, "John Ratzenberger's Made In America" on the Travel Channel. No real content has been added for a whole year, so probably it should be tagged for {{expand}} and {{unreferenced}} for a while before we delete it.-- Emana (talk) 21:22, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. There is some independent coverage of the company, including their unique corporate headquarters (as seen in this Cincinnati Enquirer article and this article). The article needs work, granted, but that's not a deletion concern. UltraExactZZ Claims ~ Evidence 21:32, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep - well-known enough. Bearian (talk) 22:42, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep I agree with the nom, but that is not grounds to delete an article of a notable subject. SeanMD80talk | contribs 00:59, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
  • It's had 2 years to be improved, however if others feel it will be improved, I'll Withdraw the nom.--Hu12 (talk) 01:04, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
