Its greek to me foods

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

spam page created by company "founder" and "president" which, despite attempts at cleaning up, still reads like a spam page of a non-notable company. B1atv 22:54, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete, needs another WP:RS besides the St. Pete Times article. The Bay 9 article isn't specifically about the company. shoy  23:30, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - very spammy article, not especially notable (I can't believe that someone in Greece isn't marketing this soup, even though I can't read the websites that seem to say so) and the sources are all local to Tampa. And, just my personal little idiosyncracy, I can't bear it when a company gets the apostrophe wrong in its own name.  Maybe the "newphew" should look into it.

 * Delete Fails WP:CORP and while presumably tasty, reeks of WP:COI and WP:SPAM. ~ Eliz 81 (C)  01:49, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - I support businesses having articles on Wikipedia, but this article is not sourced, the "specialty" soup is not notable and as such makes the restaurant non-notable.--Chef Christopher Allen Tanner, CCC 02:32, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
 * hangon, should it be edited to a stub? Company is notable in the fact that ancient soup has not been canned before. User:mmh
 * COMMENT: There doesn't appear to be a user User:mmh but the history section notes that the above comment was added by User:Michael_Houllis, the "founder" and "president" of this company and the author and maintainer of the article in question (from which he has removed both "Speedy Deletion" tags and the "afd" tag.

 * Speedy Delete as article reads like spam.--Gavin Collins 20:10, 23 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Business-related deletions.  -- Gavin Collins 20:10, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Non-notable company. Keb25 22:45, 23 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete. Being the first to can a single, obscure, soup recipe is a tenuous claim to notability at best.  Seems to fail WP:CORP and especially WP:N guidelines, especially the Primary Notability Criterion, namely multiple independant and non-trivial references in reliable third-party sources.  Any claims made seem to be by the company (or its founder itself) and thus are not indepenantly verifiable per WP:V.--Jayron32| talk | contribs  03:32, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
