Arktis

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Blatant self promotion. Conflict of interest. Article has been speedily deleted twice, and is being recreated by one of the company's senior officials. No evidence of notability. Just another clothing manufacturer. If this fails AFD can an admin salt it to prevent future recreation. Dmol (talk) 00:36, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

'Delete' COI: The article appears to be written by  William Jarret, who is listed as the Lead Designer for the company in the article. The author hasn't shown this company is Notable: The sources are a couple single pages of Raider magazine (not available online to verify if these are ads placed by the company or articles discussing the company at length), another wiki site and a blog post showing a single image obviously created by the company announcing an order.

 * Jarrett is not only their "lead designer", he is also their marketing guy... at least according to a portion of the article that was just deleted by an IP editor that came on Wikipedia solely to delete the two lines mentioning Jarrett in the article. While this version of the article does strip most (not all) of the promo-y material that was in previous versions, the current sourcing on it is dubious in meeting our guidelines for the audience requirements of establishing notability for organizations, relying heavily on a single magazine. I also don't know whether the magazine Raider is an independent source, or whether it's a magazine which Arktis advertises heavily in; we do not seem to have an article on this magazine. --Nat Gertler (talk) 14:09, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
