User talk:Gooseberrypatch

It's a strict rule of wikipedia that advertising is not allowed. See Wikipedia:Spam. Deb 20:56, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Gooseberry Patch, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Betaeleven 21:00, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You are completely correct about Vermont Country Store. That article also contained blatant advertising material, which I have done my best to remove. Deb 21:53, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cleaned up article[edit]

I've done my best to scrub down the Gooseberry Patch article, add references explaining the company's notability, and make the text express a neutral point of view. The article should no longer be at risk for deletion. JDoorjam JDiscourse 23:37, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
