Moser-Roth

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

It really is a bad idea to put "Company, corporation or organization" as an CSD criterion and then "Organisation, corporation or product" as an XfD category - I keep thinking CSD applies to products! That said.

At best, this is of questionable factual accuracy. I frequently shop in Aldi in Anerley and buy Moser-Roth chocolate. I have never once seen the word "Storck" on it, which would lead me to believe it is unaffiliated, though I will be checking the next time I go in there. At worst, this is of seriously questionable notability - no indication is provided and I can't find much online. Laun chba  ller  21:45, 11 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep "Nominator doesn't understand CSD" is not a valid rationale for AfD.
 * This is one of a recent series of confectionery AfDs with as little behind some of them as "I don't like nuts". This is a big confectionery brand, the house brand supplying a major slice of the confectionery for Aldi, a massive, and getting more so, grocery chain. They've been around for 170 years. How does an CSD#A7 or even an AfD stand up for such a major brand? Andy Dingley (talk) 22:09, 11 November 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep. There's a 1941 centennial Festschrift for the company written by de:August Lämmle, a prominent Swabian local historian and dialect writer. Its history is covered in multiple online sites, including a large part of the 1910 episode in a series on Stuttgart through the decades published by the Stuttgarter Zeitung in cooperation with the city archives. And as an Aldi supplier it's a main example in at least two books and an article on Storck and the current head of the company. One of the books mentions its having been awarded a prize in 2007. I completed the translation of the German article, made a couple of corrections, and added references. I believe it now demonstrably meets GNG. Yngvadottir (talk) 06:37, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I agree, that the article now meets WP:GNG. Withdrawn with a note saying that the first part of the nomination was an apologetic explanation to as to why I CSDd it first.--  Laun  chba  ller  10:15, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
 * You still seem convinced that Deletion is Cleanup. This is not a good way to proceed. Whether or not a good result was achieved in this case, that's still a great way to piss off other editors faster than it improves article quality. Andy Dingley (talk) 11:00, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
