Talk:Hormel Institute

Edit request
Hello, can we please add this update that details project details and historical references for the Hormel Institute? Thank you.

In 2008, Hormel Foods donated funds to The Hormel Institute, which dedicated an expansion to their cancer research facility. The project renovated a building adding research facilities, including space to house the Blue Gene/L supercomputer. The Institute, located in Austin, MN, was the result of a partnership in 1942 between the Hormel Foundation, the University of Minnesota and Mayo Clinic.

The Foundation began its work back in 1942. At that time, the company made a donation of resources to establish the Foundation and its work. As time has progressed, the company has continued to follow through with their initial commitments made over 70 years ago, by intermittently donating resources to the foundation. Each individual instance where the company makes available resources to the Foundation are not by themselves individually notable. They are more properly classified as routine events, and need not be mentioned at every occurrence, per WP:MILL. (See also WP:NOBLECAUSE.) .   spintendo ⋅ ⋅ )  00:49, 11 May 2018 (UTC)

❌ Not implemented. This information concerns a separate part of Hormel, and as such, has slightly different referencing needs. When a claim statement concerns what brand name is used on a can of chili, many types of varying references are widely acceptable. When the claim involves attending to the nutritional deficits caused by cancer, the references ought to be more selective. In this case, I'm afraid that a press release and a travel brochure do not carry this particular referencing task very well. Weightier sources should be sought out. I've added the Austin Daily Herald source, which meets these weightier requirements. .   spintendo ⋅ ⋅ )  04:11, 19 May 2018 (UTC)

OK, thank you. I will provide weightier sources and be sure to sign the new request.
