Thanks I wasn't sure if the article was acceptable or not, I just hoped they would be a bit more lenient by telling me how to modify it before deletion. I modified it now with just a couple of quick sentences about the company, I'm hoping it's ok.

The reason we decided to add it was because we saw one of our other brands, metrx, listed here with a dead link to an NBTY article, so the plan "was" to add articles for NBTY and a couple of the more important brands such as puritan. As you can see I started with puritan today.. Is it ok to add articles about NBTY and such, if I keep them along the lines of the new article I added for Puritan? PPride 17:51, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

also, is editing this page the best way to respond to you? PPride 17:52, 7 March 2007 (UTC)


 * yes, a lot of editors (including myself at times) are very quick (almost too quick) at times to mark a newly created article for speedy deletion. You may want to try creating an article offline on your computer's editor or wordprocessing software and make it as neutral sounding as you can before cut-and-pasting it into Wikipedia to make a new article.  It is also very important to especially make sure that you include external reliable verifiable references and not just a link to the subject's home web page.  News articles, reviews, etc are good links to include.  Another good way to get an idea of what a good article looks like is just to browse around Wikipedia for a few hours.  Good articles tend to have a certain "look" to them and if you can create an article in a similar way, it is more likely to be accepted.  Thomas Dzubin  Talk 17:59, 7 March 2007 (UTC)


 * thank you I really appreciate the help, I certainly don't want to use wikipedia as an advertising venue, I just want to complete the articles about the company. I read a bit more about the conflict of interest that you posted, so I felt it might be useful for me to declare in my user page that I am an employee of Puritan's Pride, and that my aim is to complete the articles started by the Met-Rx page (not created by us) *without* taking advantage of the system here. I'll also edit the Puritan's Pride page a bit more so it looks professional, and I'm going to find out the exact year the company was founded, because "over 40 years ago" is too vague. I'll post another (final) edit to the page later today which I hope will be acceptable and will merit removal of the deletion notice.PPride 18:07, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Puritan's Pride
Hi - please have a look at WP:NOT, WP:CORP. If you wish to re-create Puritan's Pride, you can do so but it must comply with Notability and WP:RS. Cheers, Rama's arrow  20:58, 7 March 2007 (UTC)


 * If you need help in writing the article, check out Help desk. I suggest you also consider the chance that it might be better to include information on "Puritan's Pride" in the article you say it is linked with - sometimes separate articles aren't the best choice. If I can help with anything else, lemme know. Cheers, Rama's arrow  22:23, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
