Focus Lighting
[edit]In the Focus Lighting article, I restored the link to the company's website. A single link to the official website of the subject of an article is not considered promotional. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 06:29, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
Eastmain (talk This Wikipedia entry for Focus Lighting is an advertising tool for the company. As you can read from the entry, there is no real data for the company. The article was generated from their PR company for marketing purposes only. Several other lighting design firms who created similar Wikipedia articles had their entries removed although they included similar content. As you read in the Focus Lighting article, they make a three sentence statement and then lists a series of local lighting awards they have won in NYC. If the claim that this article is reputable because it declares "...was the first automated color-changing exterior lighting display in the world and the first building to have an automatic color-change at night," you will see from the reference, that their authentication of this claim is simply a quote from the owner of the same company.
I have read over and over the standards of Wikipedia and find it confusing that such an article is allowed to exist although it lacks any credible factual data to make it a worthy addition to Wikipedia.
