AfD & PROD Preparatory and Draft Work

[edit]

I am intending to participate more in AfD discussions and I am using this page to create source assessment tables, draft comments and replies and other preparatory work that I find useful. I also intend to archive my work here once the AfDs conclude.

I regularly archive this page to remove stale contents from resolved discussions.

AfD for LesserEvil MkII

[edit]

Has been recreated. Link to my old work for the first AfD.

CURRENT DISCUSSION

Nomination prep

Nomination draft

[edit]

I nominated this page for deletion for not establishing its notability in 2022 and I've now realised it has been recreated. Admittedly, the article now has more sources than it did then but as can be seen from the table below, there are still no sources that count towards GNG or ORGCRIT. They are almost all either small local newspapers or specialist trade publications. In any case, the sources either largely depend on quotes or read like press releases. It should be deleted.

Table

[edit]
Source assessment table:
Source Independent? Reliable? Significant coverage? Count source toward GNG?

Hatford Business Journal article (https://www.hartfordbusiness.com/article/nearing-100m-in-annual-revenues-cts-lesserevil-expands-organic-snack-foods-line-readies-new) No Large quotes and the article simply rattles off facts that likely came from the company, not much evidence of their own journalism but not as quote-heavy as some of the others ?

Preliminary Investigations

[edit]

On cursory investigation no claim to notability. Need to consider Wikipedia:SCHOOLOUTCOMES further.
