[edit] Zendik Farm

Zendik Farm (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

It is obvious that Zendik Farm is using Wikipedia as a form of advertisement. Jyre, being an agent of Zendik Farm, has proven his bias from his first edits and will continue to find ways to present the ZF article favorably. I also was once a resident of Zendik Farm and attended meetings where such tactics have been discussed. KyroZendik 00:48, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

• Keep - it looks interesting, and gets enough hits in the Google News Archive to suggest notability. But I suggest it'd be good for the article to take it to WP:COI/N; it'd be better if no-one with a personal involvement - either pro or anti - be directly editing it.

Rather more to the story than that: check out the Google News Archive. Gordonofcartoon 03:26, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

• Weak keep, seems to get coverage in one of the main Texas papers every other year or so. Note that there seem to be unrelated Zendik Farms in WV and NC as well. --Dhartung | Talk 03:43, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm not interested in what web forums say about it. They're not reliable sources, and this particular link has been repeatedly removed from the article. BTW, if KyroZendik is some disaffected member, WP:COI applies to him/her too. Gordonofcartoon 11:31, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

• Keep per Gordonofcartoon. It needs improvement and to be free of WP:COI, but it seems to be somewhat notable. --Evb-wiki 12:07, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per above, and a few searches. Notable enough. • Lawrence Cohen 13:43, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
• Keep It definitely needs more eyes to counter the POV pushing in both directions and maintain our verifiability requirements. But it's a subject worthy enough of an article. -- SiobhanHansa 16:05, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
• Keep The current version seems to just state the facts. If you deleted every external link that sold t-shirts, an awful lot of them would go. Keith Henson 18:58, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
