Speedy deletion nomination of Gooch apparel


A tag has been placed on Gooch apparel requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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, you can place a request here. red dog six (talk) 02:11, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Deletion
Hi, thanks for message. Prior to my deletion, another editor had tagged the article for spam and notability, and a second had tagged it for speedy deletion, so mine was the third action.
 * Hi, you can sign your comments automatically using four tildes ~ . Please add your messages to the bottom of the talk page, or they may be overlooked. I deleted your article because
 * it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. The references need to be reputable and independent as defined in the link, but I'm not clear why this shop meets the notability criteria anyway, it's just another clothes shop and a new one at that. Although you gave references, they were either trivial (eg about the launch party) or linked to the company.
 * it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. One examples of an unsourced claim presented as fact is unique and innovative images...
 * The lengthy self-promoting quote ("We are a group of free thinking... super buttery fabrics, sick designs and Gooch intentions you can’t go wrong.") is pure spam.
 * it's all about what the company sells, little about the company itself other than its location. How many employees? Turnover? Profits? Has the company ever received negative publicity? Who are its competitors?
 * If you decide to recreate, note the following style points
 * The company name is Gooch Apparel (both words capped)
 * There shouldn't be any url links in the main text, only in the References or External links sections
 * Headings should follow normal capitalisation, not fully capped
 * The only bolding should be the first mention of the company name

If you want to recreate, I can post you the deleted text, but to be honest I think this is likely to struggle with notability since it is so new.  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  09:58, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
