Talk:Garden World Images

Independent, notability?
What does the "world's largest independent" image supplier actually mean? What does independent refer to? Who is not independent? I am trying to establish notability for this page - if I can't then I will propose it for deletion. As it currently stood it seemed like an advert. Jenafalt (talk) 17:08, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Tag removal
Please do not keep removing the conflict of interest and notability tags. To establish notability sources need to be verifiable - the sources added today are not verifiable. Could you please add a link that can be checked. Recent edits are also strongly suggestive of a conflict of interest as the editors seem very familiar with information about the subject that is not freely available. The tags should only be removed if these two issues can be resolved. Jenafalt (talk) 13:06, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

The Editors of the article work within the horticultural industry and are familiar with the company in question. Also the information is freely availiable on BAPLA if you would please look. The sources are a verified secondary source and are freely availiable on back catalogue through the referenced tv programme, magazine and newspaper. It is up to the reader to obtain the secondary sources for further notification. Please feel free to search the aforementioned references and find that that they are all accurate and highly verifiable; with special regard to the hessayon books as these are Highly availiable, this is the reason why this reference was chose. Please give regard to the fact that because this is a specialised subject there are not online scans of books and magazines etc citing the company in question because of course there won't be. There is however hundreds of physical copies of such references and as such a reference does not have to be purely online verifiable source; as you know the sources the editors have given are highly verifiable through respected books and authors. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.139.210.114 (talk) 14:32, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Please note that there are many many articles on wikipedia lacking online versions of secondary sources for immediate verification.They do not have to be directly linked to a website or web page. These sources do however need third party checking by obtaining the secondary sources mentioned but I can say with 100% confidence they are very accurate because as an avid academic in horticulture I have all of the publications in question and many more. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cpt Elder (talk • contribs) 15:11, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

If there is no further objections within the next few days (I agree with the above user cpt elder that the facts about sources on wikipedia are totally right) then the tags sgould be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.96.166.50 (talk) 21:11, 16 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Please do not remove the tags. The article has not changed - it still has not enough information to establish notability along the verifiable lines that I added to the article or independent sources that speak about the company.  All of the information that I have found is merely a copy of promotional material put out by the company - very similar, in fact to the early edits of this page. There is still evidence of a significant conflict of interest, especially as those pushing so heavily for the removal of the tags have not contributed in other ways to Wikipedia see WP:SPA.  If you want to remove the tags then edit the article in a way that establishes notability and invite other more established editors to help you with it (see WP:HELP) or add wiki links so that others who are not so closely involved in the horticultural industry will edit it.

 * Please refer to the following pages on notability. This page is about the notability of companies for inclusion on Wikipedia: WP:COMPANY.  This is a page on general issues about notability: WP:NOTE.  If the article cannot meet these notability guidelines then there is a good chance it will be deleted. I have done several searches to try to establish notability but have been unable to find any appropriate sources according to these guidelines. Please help by adding appropriate sources. Thanks.

 * Notability

Jenafalt a number of experienced wikipedia editors, academics and authors and both verified and certified the sources as well as the purpose and need for the page. The secondary sources ARE suitable. hundreds of company articles have secondary sources outside the internet and are more than verifiable, please take the time to ensure you take this in to consideration and look. As well as this many other articles now have links within them to the article in question; therefore leading to the conclusion that other wikipedia authors find the company a necessary and valuable contribution to the community with the correctly cited sources. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.140.211.143 (talk) 11:02, 21 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I have given you links to show what appropriate sources are needed for the article to make it notable. I have been unable to find any myself after extensive searches.  Please add them yourself if you have them.  Only then should the tag be removed. Jenafalt (talk) 11:43, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
