All Natural Food Zone

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No reliably sourced sign of notability. Alexa lists only two inbound links, site rank over 9 million. No gnews hits for "All Natural Food Zone" or allnaturalfoodzone.blogspot.com. Ghits are almost all self-generated, nothing of notability. Nat Gertler (talk) 20:08, 25 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep Hello. It is nice to finally respond to you. This article is entirely notable. Reliable third-part sources have been added, and I am in the process of adding more. Please check by the end of the hour. To remove this article from this site would be utterly ludicrous. Additionally, the page views were sourced from Google Analytics, a very reliable measure of page views. Alexa, in the past has not been as much of a reliable source as Google Analytics. I will, add this source immediately.

◅ If is is kept, which I assume it will be, as logically it would; I will apply for this page to have semi- or fully-protected status, as it seems there are some editors who truly wish to vandalize the article. Coolboygcp (talk) 21:08, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Hooboy, here goes:
 * No, the page views are not sourced to Google Analytics. There is no link to Google Analytics here. There is a link to a page of the blog that makes claims, which you refer to as Citation Two. The blog itself is not a reliable source for boastful claims. Added later: there is now a link to the front page of Google Analytics. That will not show the figures for this blog to anyone... except perhaps the site owner. --Nat Gertler (talk) 21:38, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
 * The "reliable third party sources" that have been added is this link to the reblogging of one blog entry on a sweepstakes site - nothing that establishes notability there.
 * No, I am not a disgruntled reader of the site. Never encountered this very obscure site until I ran into this article. Note added later: in this subsequent edit, Coolboygcp removed the suggestion that I was a disgruntled reader of his site. --Nat Gertler (talk) 06:25, 29 April 2013 (UTC) 
 * If you're not affiliated with the site, you may wish to get to know the guy behind it. He may have the very same initials that are at the end of your user name; if so, that could suggest that you have a lot in common.
 * If you feel I have vandalized the article, please report it through the proper channels. Otherwise, please retract that accusation. (You may want to bone up on WP:VANDALISM.)
 * You are certainly free to apply for this page to get semi- or full protection. If it is semi-protected, I will still be able to edit it. If it's fully protected, you won't be.
 * If you wish to welcome me to Wikipedia, you are over 6 years and 10,000 edits too late. Note: This comment was in response to a portion of the posting that Coolboygcp later deleted here. --Nat Gertler (talk) 21:33, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Note. TheOriginalSoni, Deskana, and myself, were canvassed individually, by name, regarding this AfD on IRC, by a user identifying themselves as CoolBoyGcp. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 21:32, 25 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Additional note - it was less of a cancassing than an asking for help. TheOriginalSoni (talk) 21:35, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete There are no reliable sources yet, and that is sufficient grounds for deletion. I suggest we userfy it and let it go through the AfC process. TheOriginalSoni (talk) 21:35, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Actually, a speedy delete as  promotional: " All Natural Food Zone LLC, is currently working on several publications, and other development opportunities, and local market opportunities. These plans have been fiercely guarded, however, the website as stated that it will reveal more in the future."  Contents like that shows a promotional purpose, and also shows that whoever wrote the page  knows perfectly well they are not yet notable . I commend the nominator for sticking with it in the face of absurd claims of bad faith.  If anyone is showing bad faith, or at least an ignorance of WP, it's the ed. who removed the AfD tag--see the edit history.  DGG ( talk ) 22:31, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete: reads like WP:PUFFery (just as one example, 5  50 M page hits ≠ 5  50 M users), and the name "Coolboygcp" implies a COI (site is created by George Poulos), though the account's been in use for a year and a half. Not sure if I'm using Topsy right, but I can't find the supposed tweets by @barackobama    or @whitehouse   . No indication of real notability; fails WP:WEBCRIT.

 * Oh, let's not misstate the case. The article doesn't actually claim 5M users. It claims 50M. If they have 50 million users and only two links that Alexa detected, I think they have a problem generating virality. --Nat Gertler (talk) 22:55, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Woopsies. Didn't mean to do that.  Ignatz mice•talk 01:03, 26 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete - There are no reliable sources in the article references, and I can find none either. -- Whpq (talk) 14:21, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
