Andezoo[edit]

To me, this reads like an advertisement. Possibly the Italian and Spanish Wikipedias have already deleted similar articles by the same user as spam. At best, it's not notable enough to warrant an article. However, another user nominated it for speedy deletion, then immediately removed the tag, noting in the summary that it's not spam. That makes it potentially controversial, thus the AfD. Katherine Tredwell 02:09, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete NN it isn't notable in peru and it's doubtful it will be anywhere else. ILovePlankton⁽^L^—ⁿ⁾ 02:50, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
~~Keep~~ Delete It doesn't matter where it's notable - If it's notable in Peru, then it's notable. Wikipedia is not the property of the United States, and NPOV includes neutrality of nationality. That said - The sources provided are all from the same newspaper. That newspaper, el Comercio, is indeed an independent and reliable source (see also El Comercio (Peru)), so it's not just a press release being regurgitated - it's a real newspaper. Further, the articles come from May and June of this year, showing that coverage of the product line continued, at least for a time. Within Peru, sources for additional coverage will be limited, which is why the paper is relied upon so heavily here. The article needs much cleanup, and it seems clear that the primary author(s) are non-native english speakers - but those issues can be dealt with.

Comment - I have notified the article's creator about this AFD as recommended per WP:AFD, using the AFD warning template provided. Interestingly, the user is named Andezoo as well. Best, ZZ ^Claims~ Evidence 03:41, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Most of the article comprises descriptions of the four critters taken verbatim from the Andezoo website. it could make the article a copyvio; it's also a sign of a spammer. Katherine Tredwell 03:52, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I hadn't looked at the Andezoo website - and, having done so, I agree that the article as-is appears to breach WP:COPYVIO. Given the low amount of non-copyvio content, there's very little to salvage. So, I'm changing my recommendation above to Delete. I still think that the sources, if used properly, would be enough to meet WP:NOTE, and that an article on the subject would be feasible - but this article in this form isn't salvageable. A fresh start is warranted. Best, ZZ ^Claims~ Evidence 12:58, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
