Spammy language
How can you remove a "spam" tag from an article that contains phrases like "manageable and highly-reliable servers"? -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  02:32, 2 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I removed the offending phrase. I'm just trying to keep this page from being deleted. I'm not here to fight with you, but I do need for you to understand the significance of this company. We are a dying breed, with only a few companies in America still manufacturing custom built systems.  I can't put that on the page without being hit as a spammer, and the links were not an attempted at being spammy, but to show that this company does exist, is notable, and is well regarded...since that was the original accusation. They have been in many magazines, have been reviewed dozens of times...and still they are not notable?  I don't understand your criteria for deletion.  Even as a competitor, I feel that their exposure is relevent to my own company's survival...people who buy their computers usually shop all six major small manufacturers before making their final choice. We are all well known in circles of people who are considered computer enthusiasts, and that alone should make AVA a candidate for a Wiki article. I kind of thought that the whole point of Wiki was to provide knowledge.  That's all I'm trying to do here.--HeatherMTaylor (talk) 20:28, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Then the language needs to be tightened up, with no ad-speak like the offending phrase, and with direct references to impartial, substantial coverage in reliable sources (i.e., not links to purported reviews hosted on AVADirect's own webforums, etc.) I'm not hostile to the topic, honestly; but this particular article has been so fluffed up by AVADirect people that we've all become a little cynical. We block PR agencies, company flacks, etc. all the time, people who believe that all companies on the planet should have admiring articles written by their own advertising people. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  16:49, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Ok, I'll give it a shot. Please review afterward with constructive criticism? --HeatherMTaylor (talk) 18:05, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Oh, ok...I see that you've done that. LOL. I work nights at Xbox and part time days at Puget Systems...I'm a little out of it today. Is that adequate enough to keep the page up? --HeatherMTaylor (talk) 18:08, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * You need to make your case on the AfD page now. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  19:43, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Have done so. Please review. --HeatherMTaylor (talk) 04:00, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
