There are several economic development pages on wikipedia. They are governmental agencies, so there is no direct promotion involved. Please edit, if necessary, the parts that you find inappropriate and compare the articles to other economic development offices' pages. If it is clear which parts should be changed, there is no reason why this wikipedia page should not have the right to exist and inform. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MVKLG2014 (talk • contribs) 15:13, 11 February 2014 — MVKLG2014 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Firstly: Every article is judged on its own merits, so comparing with other articles is useless. Secondly: no subject has a right on a page, it has to be earned. The Banner talk 21:47, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

I would like to inform about the German state of Hessen and the Economic Development occupation as well as possible. I orientated myself towards other Economic development Wikipedia pages e.g. Georgia Department of Economic Development which have a similar layout. However, I do understand your point that each article is judged on its own merits. Would you please be so kind to tell me what I can change or improve?
 * Just make it a neutral, non-promotional article in style, tone and content. No endless list of companies present, no list of offices. Just the cold facts. The Banner talk 22:00, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

Okay, I will try to get to it as soon as possible, probably tomorrow. Please be so kind to give me a feedback once the article is changed. thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by MVKLG2014 (talk • contribs) 16:53, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I made some first changes based on your recommendations. Would you like me to change anything else? Best Regards — Preceding unsigned comment added by MVKLG2014 (talk • contribs) 16:36, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Yes, the article would benefit from independent and reliable sources to prove the notability of this subsidiary. A history section about this company (not about Hessen, the economy or its parent company) would also be useful. By now, I have removed all irrelevant information, corporate promotion and name dropping... The Banner talk</i> 20:46, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

Would you please tell me what else you would like to add? After your deletions I simply added the desired history sections and key services which are important in understanding what the agency is for. Compared to other articles about Economic Development Offices this article is now short and less promotional. I think it is a good, short and informative article.

 * Delete. Fails WP:CORP and WP:GNG. Sounds like WP:PROMO. mikeman67 (talk) 22:09, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
