Farida Guitars
Hi all,

I am in the process of adding some info and history regarding Farida Guitars to the Wiki site just like other people have done for other Guitar companies such as Gibson and Fender. I have been on my lunch to see that it has been removed already. I do not intend to mention anything regarding were to buy these from. I have simply copied it from a brochure I've got? All I want to do is to provide people with infomation regarding the Guitar, how there made, were they come from etc.

Please can you review the article and get back to me, I would appreciate it very much.

Kindest Regards

Blindprof

I have restored Farida Guitars for the moment. Articles that read like advertisements are prime targets for deletion, as are articles that simply copy advertising material. However if you can write more about the history of the company, obtain some copyright-free photographs of their products and perhaps obtain details of notable musicians who use their instruments, then it will have a better chance of surviving.

 * If you're likely to take a while in fleshing this out, you could consider creating the article in your own user space (as User:Blindprof/Farida Guitars, for example). Then when it's (more) complete you can use the "Move" tab at the top to move it into "mainspace" (where articles live). If you need any help, feel free to give me a shout!
