[edit]

I'm not sure why this page was gutted. It was a reasonable page following reasonable protocol based on other prominent companies. History and Products and Associations were deleted, it seems, without merit.

Please advise? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.197.140.131 (talkcontribs) 19:02, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also, there is a new Logo for this company, which can be found here: http://friedrich.com/images/logo_shield.gif This should replace the current logo —Preceding unsigned comment added by Adrock31 (talkcontribs) 19:13, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just to be clear: are User:65.197.140.131 and User:Adrock31 the same editor? Given the closeness in time I'm assuming yes, but let me know if I'm overreaching.
To answer the second question (about the logo) first: the best way to get it added to the article is for the company itself (with their lawyer's approval) to disclaim all copyright interest and post it at Wikimedia Commons. The easiest way is for you to snag it off the web site and upload it such that it overwrites File:FRIEDRICH_Logo_web.jpg; the current {{logo fur}} would still be applicable.
As for the rest: The page was stubbed (not gutted) because it contained no third-party verifiable reliable sources. Not a one. In theory, an article without references shouldn't even exist, but the company name gets enough Google News hits to assume that the company itself is notable.
Additionally, there were copyright issues. Copyright infringement doesn't require that the source be duplicated word-for-word, which is why WP has rules against close paraphrasing. For instance:
Overall: I'd recommend that you spend some time looking at the Google news hits I linked to above and add some solid references and sourcing instead of fretting about this week's logo versus last week's. Even at this length, it needs a lot of work, so go for it! Dori ❦ (TalkContribsReview) ❦ 00:04, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
