Neutrally-worded

[edit]

This article does not have a promotional tone as of this post (link). North America1000 21:46, 30 July 2017 (UTC)North America1000 22:02, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it's appropriate for me to give an assessment of the article with my admin hat on, or in my role as the closing admin. As a purely rank and file editor with no special knowledge of the subject, the current revision doesn't seem to have any obvious bias or promotionalism issues.

[edit]

To my opinion, this article still has a promotional tone. i can imagine that the author does not agree with that, but after two AfDs for promotion/advertising, he should have gotten the message that something is not okay in this article. The Banner talk 12:29, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • I understand that users have differing opinions about what constitutes advertising on Wikipedia. I have deleted many articles that did constitute blatant advertising. However, below is a list to consider. This article does not:
  • Use promotional language, wording or phrasing
  • Use peacock language or phrasing
  • Extol any "greatness" about the company
  • Encourage or persuade readers to do business with the company
  • Have a biased point of view
  • Contain content written as an advertisement

  • Well, which it?  When you restored the template, you said, "The remark [above] is about the version that was there on the 31th of July 2017, this is about the recent version."  Now you are saying this has something to do with the two previous AfDs, which pre-dated the 31 July 2017 version.  Unscintillating (talk) 15:38, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ok, I see the error I made, but that only explains one of the two AfDs I was asking about.  I'm still seeing claims that this is a new problem that post-dated 31 July 2017, and that this is an old problem to be understood by the first AfD that took place prior to 31 July 2017.  Unscintillating (talk) 19:28, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Trivial coverage

[edit]

I am thinking there is information that should not be in this article. Take a look at CORPDEPTH and NOTPROMO:

  1. ...using around £750,000 of funds raised via crowd-funding
  2. In 2016 the company received £3 million in funding from Niklas Zennström's investment vehicle Atomico,
  3. which was followed by another funding round of £7 million April 2017.

Administration

[edit]

It's not hit the headlines yet, but the company has just fallen into administration today. It came after they'd been seeking bids to buy the company, and over the last week all of the bids fell through. Today is the last day of trading. El Pollo Diablo (Talk) 21:42, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
