Talk:Hapsburg Absinthe

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (your reason here) --Jerry Borgg (talk) 11:35, 2 June 2014 (UTC)I apologize for my inability to understand what is defined as advertising. I saw this page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_F%C3%A9e_Absinthe, and wanted to replicate the same educational teachings as La fee Absinthe. I strongly believe in educating people about Absinthe and the major products. I found Hapsburg's imformation in a few referneced articles about Absinthe and strong spirits. This information propelled me to learn about the product. From there I am hoping to teach others about Absinthe.

Please tell me how I can properly edit my page in order to ensure that it stays published.


 * If you dont understand why "Hapsburg’s brand ideology has always been to create a drink that is unique, contemporary and delicious. Established in 1999, Hapsburg Absinthe was one of the few pioneering brands to appear when the first resurgence of Absinthe took place, since it had been banned in Switzerland in 1905 . Over the past 15 years Hapsburg has offered much more than just a tasty drink ;a true lifestyle experience. Today, Hapsburg represents the new diverse generation of Absinthe drinkers; from the young dynamic student to the more seasoned and edgy drinker.We have created a varied range of products that are specifically designed to enhance peoples lifestyles and excite each and every one of our consumers. Hapsburg Absinthe is a drink for an individual who can see past the stigma and reputation of absinthe but is bold enough to make a statement of uniqueness, refinement and understanding. Hapsburg has fashioned a drink for those who want to stand out from the crowd." is purely promotional in tone there is no help for you. "Established in 1999" is about all that could be kept.TheLongTone (talk) 12:06, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for the input it really helped. How does this sound:

Better but the 'we' is a bit of a giveawy. To be honest I very much doubt whether this brand is notable, even if you cleanud up the article.TheLongTone (talk) 12:19, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

The brand is very notable, they have a beautifully designed site and their brand is all over the world, which is how I found them. I had there classic at a bar in New Zealand and have been drinking it ever since.

New section on the page: Hapsburg Absinthe was established in 1999. Popularity of Absinthe really began to take off in the 1990's when the Czech Republic was opened to tourism. The Green Fairy was still a popular drink in the Czech Republic and many tourists would have their first experience with the drink on their visits to this country.By the mid-90's, Absinthe had become a regular fixture in many bars in the UK. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jerry Borgg (talk • contribs) 12:23, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

I fell in love with the brand for its origins in London and Israel. I want people to know about the resurgence of Absinthe, with time the page will explain more of the history and the importance of Absinthe as a spirit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jerry Borgg (talk • contribs) 12:28, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

How does the article look now? Thanks for your help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jerry Borgg (talk • contribs) 12:58, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Looks one heck of a lot better, but... I'm still not quite happy with the references. If possible, avoid ones where you need to be logged in to read the thing (you might be logged in there and not have noticed this...), and the Men's Journal one reads a bit promo. The Absinthe Supply looks good in content but it doesn't mention the company. Might get away with them, but I'd like to see some more things that actually talk about the brand rather than just absinthe in general. That thing that takes up three lines wants sorting. I've corrected a couple of typos, but I'll leave that ref to someone who is better at putting references inline than I am. Peridon (talk) 13:36, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

Outsider's opinion
Reading the talk page, yes, it comes off as massively editorial in the original edit, but I do have to say that the drink must be popular enough that it hit the shores of NZ, where I live. It might not be a super traditional formula, but considering we don't even get Parliament cigarettes here it must be doing something to get picked up by even the smallest liquor stores. --222.154.232.126 (talk) 07:55, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
