Petals Network

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Fails WP:CORP nothing asserting notability no verifiable notability, no independent sources. Mister Senseless&trade; (Speak - Contributions) 05:22, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Needs references, needs a lot of editing, but the company seems notable. "Australian National Small Business of the Year" and was "4 years in the Top 100 Fastest Growing Businesses in Australia" list. I would just cut the #$*@ out of it. There's a lot of original research and POV. ChildofMidnight (talk) 07:25, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I couldn't find any references for that. Mister Senseless&trade; (Speak - Contributions) 14:29, 13 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep based on hansard link. may be a good idea to delete coi spammy article full of link spam and start again but notability may be there. article needs major fixing and probably another good source. Duffbeerforme (talk) 15:03, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

I am a novice at this but I have tried to provide some feedback here of the issues you raise. I am new to this and realize the company aspect. However, I note that several other similar businesses like teleflora interflora Florists' Transworld Delivery appear in wikipedia. I think we are notable because we run a floral wire service in 3 countries whereas others work in only one. We are based in a small country town and service the world. We have won a number of business awards including Australian Small Business of the year. I hope we can set a bit of an example. I would appreciate any advice you can offer to improve / keep our listing. Thanks. Clunyrd (talk) 21:52, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

I declined the speedy because there is an assertion of possible notability from the awards, etc. But please read WP:CORP and try to add some verified material to assert notability thoroughly. Fritzpoll (talk) 22:32, 12 November 2008 (UTC) I have added some links the the NSW Parliment and the Australian Business Chamber awards we have won. I hope the builds the notability a bit. I apprecaite the feedback. Clunyrd (talk) 22:50, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

 * I was probably wrong to speedy tag this especially since there is an assertion of notability, but the lack of sources as called for in WP:CORP is what's doing it for me right now. That being said, if we can find some references to prove that Petals Network was the number one business in Australia, I'll gladly flip flop to a keep and clean up.

Have added several more references to Petals from governement organizations and business magazine stories. Hope that is OK? Clunyrd (talk) 20:28, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
