Contested deletion[edit]

This page is not unambiguously promotional, because it is created not for promotion but as an encyclopedic or information page for the company. It includes purely company information/details not promotional concepts.--Snapworx (talk) 04:36, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not done @Snapworx: This is clearly promotional and written like an advertisement. Also, do not remove speedy deletion tags from a page you created yourself again, or you may risk being blocked from editing. — Music1201 ^talk 05:13, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Music1201: Can you specify which part of my article are promotional?

@Snapworx: The main example I see in this article is the "Vision" section. Although I do see promotional wording in the entirety of the article. It does not maintain a neutral point of view. — Music1201 ^talk 05:20, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The {{Directory|1=section}} concern is now resolved.

Written like an advert[edit]

One of the many promotional phrases in the article: "Metro Supermarket provides the freshest of the fresh produce". - Takeaway (talk) 15:45, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Possible conflict of interest[edit]

Possible WP:COI. The WP:SPA creator of this article is also the uploader of the images over on Wikimedia Commons. Many of their uploads have already been deleted as copyright violations of the company website, but now they have uploaded images that would seem to have been received directly from the company itself because they do not feature elsewhere on the internet (for instance File:MRSGI Key People.jpg). It would seem that the creator of the article is in some way connected to the company; perhaps a paid editor? - Takeaway (talk) 15:54, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Dear WP:COI editors[edit]

Instead of repeatedly removing the "advert" and "conflict of interest" tags from the article without addressing the issues and instead placing even more promotional content into the article, why not just remove the embarrassingly obvious promotional blabla bits and then I, or another neutral editor, will remove the tags. - Takeaway (talk) 10:58, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion[edit]

This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (I edited at my own and its what the boss told to me, also its my requirement to do so) --Ladyrose09 (talk) 00:25, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
