Themes Of Gift Baskets

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Not written in the style of an encyclopedic article; rather, includes advice on how to create gift baskets. Duplicates gift basket. (Contested proposed deletion - tag removed, presumedly by the creator, without an explanation.) - Mike Rosoft (talk) 08:25, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Comment I am disheartened to see yet another article being nominated for deletion based on the condition of its prose, as opposed to the general notability of the topic. I admit, the article as it stands is in a deplorable state. But is "Themes Of Gift Baskets" a notable concept? That's the real issue. ☻☻☻Sithman VIII !!☻☻☻ 19:38, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh, and i'd suggest Clean up & Move to Themed gift baskets ☻☻☻Sithman VIII !!☻☻☻ 19:41, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

I found this at the article's Talk page and am copying it here in the interest of fairness. --MelanieN (talk) 04:16, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
 * hello sir, i uploaded an article on " THEMES OF GIFT BASKET" on 19th July which was deleted immediately. You took it as a promotional ad or something which it was not. It was just a general information regarding different themed based baskets. My intentions were not to advertise or promote something. What i felt that the pictures which i uploaded created the problem. so i deleted those pics. You also ask me to change the writing style which i did and after editing uploaded the article. As far as the point that it duplicates the "gift basket" is concerned, what i feel is that the page of "gift basket" just displays the old typical fruit baskets or just adding in some nuts and dried fruit.It does not gave a clear idea of themed based baskets. A gift basket depicts only flowers and fruits whereas themed gift basket is a new topic. Trends have changed a lot and people look for something unique. The themes which i wrote about are new and different. As themed baskets are those which are created with respect to the recipient's interests and hobbies. The themes which i wrote are a lot different like sports, gardening, bath and much more.Sports gift basket only displays sports related items, gardening displays gardening related. Desert basket includes desert food items and the utensils which are involved in making those Desert. It should be considered as a new topic as you have to manage variety of items under it and just a simple "gift basket" does not make it clear. Saadias83 (talk) 13:13, 23 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete The article appears to be entirely Original Research; in fact the author confirms WP:OR in the comment above, referring to "the themes which I wrote..." --MelanieN (talk) 04:16, 29 July 2010 (UTC)


 * I'd like to point out that this debate should be about the validity of the topic; The fact that it only contains OR at this point is irrelevant.  That can be solved with a simple cleanup. ☻☻☻Sithman  VIII !!☻☻☻ 23:39, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Another way of saying "original research" is "unverified" or "nothing to demonstrate notability". The concepts are all related. And "unverified" or "non-notable" are definitely reasons to delete. --MelanieN (talk) 00:43, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Merge to Gift basket. Content is valid but not as a standalone article. Eddie.willers (talk) 01:25, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
 * A very, very selective merge to Gift basket is a possibility, but only if proper sourcing can be supplied. The detail that particular non-basket types of containers are sometimes used might be added to the "Gift baskets for occasions" section, as might a few of the other details; but the list of "popular themes" is based only on the random ideas posted on a couple of Web sites, with no source to back up their "popularity". However, given the radical lack of reliable sources in this article and the implausibility of the title as a search string, I think that delete is the way to go, with no prejudice against the author's adding whatever can be reliably sourced (and doesn't violate WP:NOTHOW) to the "Gift basket" article.
