Copyright violation removed[edit]

I have reverted this article to a much earlier version. Someone had copy-pasted a large amount of text from the company website, something that is a violation of copyright law and Wikipedia policy. Please write stuff in your own words, or use materials with explicit permission. --Alvestrand (talk) 10:00, 10 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for taking care of the copyvio. The article still reads very promotional and there may even be some COI. I've contacted some of the other contributors to see if this can be fixed.--Kudpung (talk) 22:36, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

References & COI[edit]

The article has been tagged again for needing references. Please do NOT remove the tag again until the issue has been resolved. Please ensure that to avoid COI, references are to reliable third party sources that do not commercially promote the subject's possible commercial interests.--Kudpung (talk) 23:01, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In response to the note on my talk page, I only created this article to remove the material from Tom Dixon (baseball) into which it was inserted incorrectly. Apparently I'm smarter than 220.253.40.193 (talk · contribs · WHOIS), who is the one who actually created the material. ;) It cheesed me off to see the stuff stomping on another person's article, so I fixed it, but I couldn't really give a whooptedo about it otherwise. Cheers! Katr67 (talk) 23:58, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A perfectly legitimate reason, and now that the article is there, and as other articles already link to it in correct context, it's probably a good idea to see if it can be developed. Hence the reason why I have removed the PROD template which was inserted within 3 hours of my message to all the contributors. Let's give it a chance before getting too dramatic and deletion trigger-happy.--Kudpung (talk) 04:19, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Stubbed - multiple issues[edit]

The article has been stubbed because:

Highly promotional - edited by the subject's press agent under at lease two different Wikipediaaccounts.
Possible commercial spam.
Lack of biographical content (content is about the work, not the person).
Notability is not disputed. reliable sources and Verifiabiity are however required for the many contentious claims to fame and awards.
Complete rewrite needed to introdce neutrality and remove editor's personal opinion, promotion and/or advertising, and original reasearch.

Metal shoe object, Shinzo Abe and an Israeli chef[edit]

An Israeli chef named Moshe Segev (or Segev Moshe; I don't know which one is correct) served Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe (who was on a state visit to Israel) pieces of chocolate in a shoe-shaped metal object, causing outrage. [1] [2] [3] [4] Apparently, that object was made by Tom Dixon as a part of the Cast family.

Should it be noted in this article, or should the article about the chef be created here in the English Wikipedia instead? JSH-alive/^{talk/cont/mail} 02:26, 14 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
