Contested deletion

[edit]

This page is not unambiguously promotional, because I am in the process of editing it to conform to the guidelines -- there are a number of secondary sources out there that refer to it and it has some interesting history, particularly in terms of work for the Green Bay Packers. --CdbgLaurie (talk) 10:44, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Deletion Declined

[edit]

I agree that this page is not unambiguously promotional, lots of it is well-sourced facts. However, lots of it relies only on primary or no sources- if no secondary sources support these statements, they should probably be removed. Joseph2302 (talk) 11:05, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject

[edit]

I don't quite understand why my edits to this page are being flagged for having a close connection to the subject. I don't have any connection to the subject: no affiliation, not employed by it, not a customer of it, don't even live anywhere near it. Can someone please take this off? I've just really been trying to contribute and update to keep my wiki skills less rusty. CdbgLaurie (talk) 20:37, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I placed the WP:COI template on this page. Please do not remove it yourself, and do see my response to your question here, and your own original comment at the Teahouse about creating and editing this article 'for a friend' (see here). Nick Moyes (talk) 00:23, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Too much self-referencing

[edit]

I count at least ten references that are to the H.J Martin and Son website. The company's own website can be used for basic information (when founded, where located, etc.) but not for much of the information self-referenced here. Wikipedia does not care what a company says about itself (even if true). Either find independent citations or delete the content. David notMD (talk) 00:40, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
