Maryland Department of Commerce

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Entirely promotional puff piece. Sources do not establish independent notability, being all press releases or primary sources from the organisation itself. Could possibly be stubbified, but totally inappropriate in its current form. Folly Mox (talk) 14:29, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Oh, come on. Every U.S. state has a department like this, and the claim about it being a "promotional puff piece" is extremely speculative. This article does have problems with uncited statements and not enough independent sources, but AFD is not cleanup. It is not take much more than a GNews search to show that actions taken by this department get coverage on Maryland sources independent of the department.

 * Oh, my word on what to do? Do not keep going with nomination until a valid rationale is made. User:HumanxAnthro ( Banjo x Kazooie ) 16:18, 21 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Stubbify post haste to remove copyvio and generally shit writing. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 19:00, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
 * AFD is not cleanup to improve prose quality, though the Copyvio is serious. User:HumanxAnthro ( Banjo x Kazooie ) 14:11, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
 * It looks like this has been a copyvio since 2009. SportingFlyer  T · C  20:17, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
