Fresh direct is a major food service provider in new york. Don't delete the article. It links and is linked to in many articles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.150.105.9 (talkcontribs)

Yes, this really is a pretty major company in New York -- if you lived here, you'd know it. -- BlastOButter42 See Hear Speak 03:51, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

That is not the right standard to apply. See WP:CORP for Wikipedia's generally accepted standards of inclusion for companies. Mere existence of the company is not sufficient. Note also that this page was tagged for deletion because the content had become to much like advertising and not the neutral presentation of content expected of an encyclopedia article. If you feel strongly that this article is appropriate to the encyclopedia, you need to take an active role in maintaining the article. Rossami (talk) 14:55, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
If you're saying it's not notable by WP:CORP, it's been covered by plenty of secondary sources, and I've added several to the External links section. As to advertising, I agree that it does read a little like an ad, but there's definitely good content in there, and while it may need to be revised, it doesn't need to be deleted. What kind of suggestions would you have for how to improve it? -- BlastOButter42 See Hear Speak 02:22, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Freshdirect.PNG

Image:Freshdirect.PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 08:37, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Union campaign

Why was the stuff about the Union Campaign edited out? It's one of the biggest stories in the New York labor movement and addresses neutrality issues regarding the company. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.0.50.12 (talk) 04:06, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

It was removed by an anonymous IP without a reason, so I'm treating it as vandalism. Before I noticed, though, Spopejoy added a new section about it, which is better anyway, so I'm leaving that. (Spopejoy also removed a lot of good content, though, so I restored that as well.) -- BlastOButter42 See Hear Speak 01:33, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
