Advertising

This article reads like advertising. It should be considered for deletion. Pkgx (talk) 18:11, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A question has been raised about the advert tag.

The Tape Wrangler seems to be a reasonably good tape dispenser but there are many others on the market too. We would not want Wikipedia to be a product listing for tape dispensers (and other products). Wikipedia should not be listing commercial products. The purpose of this article seems to be promotional which is against WK policy. Further, I might question whether the subject is noteworthy. Pkgx (talk) 18:52, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

For a product to have a Wikipedia article is not considered advertising. If the article has a promotional tone, then that is a different story. I currently do not see this article as having a promotional tone though. Is there something not-neutral about the content that I can fix, otherwise I'm inclined to remove the tag. As far as notability, the topic seems to meet the general notability guideline by having multiple independent sources (although there's no harm in opening up a deletion discussion to verify this).

Yes there are WK articles on major products: Ford Fusion, I-Pod, etc. This brand of tape dispenser is not a major product and perhaps is not a noteworthy subject for an article. I would never expect this to move beyond the Stub status.

I am willing to go with Consensus here but it is hard to form a consensus of two. Could you please post this question to an appropriate page so we can get some additional views. Thank you. Pkgx (talk) 16:03, 28 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Since the concern here does not seem to be advertising, I have removed the {{advert}} tag. Personally, I'm inclined to think the subject may adequate notability, but the proper venue for discussing this would be at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. See here if you'd like to open up a discussion on it. Cheers, Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 18:09, 28 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Stub and category

I have deleted the stub msg and a category. Given the topic and that some would rather the article was deleted there is no need to write any more about it and it should not be added to the office equip category. 203.109.161.2 (talk) 00:42, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
