Speedy deletion nomination of Davis Chocolate


A tag has been placed on Davis Chocolate, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. -- Ed (Edgar181) 20:52, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

Please change my user name to Brent Davis, owner of Davis Chocolates.

I believe our company should be included in your list of bean to bar chocolate makers. We are members of the Fine Chocolate Industry Association (www.finechocolateindustry.org/), listed as such on the Ultimate Chocolate Blog (http://ultimatechocolateblog.blogspot.com/2014/03/bean-to-bar-craft-chocolate-makers-in.html), Google fusion table (https://www.google.com/fusiontables/DataSource?docid=1hJrL3E3LmNAvwIJhU48TgTP7jjsQicGeOQ5Zahk#rows:id=1)m) among others.

I notice several companies which are not bean to bar makers, notably Ethel M, which makes "chocolates" not chocolate on-site.


 * Here are a few key questions:


 * Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory?
 * Do you understand conflict of interest?
 * Do you understand that to be considered for an encyclopedia article, the subject must be notable?

You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a company, group or product that you have been promoting, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to violate the 3 important principles above. --jpgordon:==( o ) 16:28, 20 July 2015 (UTC)

Thank you and I do understand your points. I was only hoping to have our name added to your list to make your list more complete.
 * Please sign talk page posts with ~ which puts your sig and date stamp on. Please also note that Wikipedia 'List of...' pages are strictly part of the indexing system here. They are lists of articles, not of entities. That is where the 'not a directory' comes in - if a company doesn't have an article, they shouldn't be on there as the lists are not supposed to be lists of everyone. And to get an article, one has to pass WP:CORP with reliable independent sources WP:RS to prove it. That's the 'notability' thing. Peridon (talk) 18:41, 20 July 2015 (UTC)
