Article going from bad to worse looks like COI
editThis article is starved for reliable independent sources, yet the claim that the business is based on Yoga merchandise, via the repeated, editwarring addition of that Category is now again made along with the repeated addition and alteration of the navbar Yoga as exercise. This looks very much like conflict of interest, i.e. an editor is batting for Aritzia not for Wikipedia. That is obviously wholly unacceptable. Reliable evidence, independent of the company, must be provided to state in terms that the retailer exists IN ORDER TO sell yoga apparel, yoga mats, etc; otherwise the claim implied by the Category and navbar is false. To be clear, having a change of company policy and starting a sideline in yoga pants is NOT sufficient for the category, and a fortiori for the navbar, which is exclusively for things and people totally tied to Yoga.
The article's History section signally does not even mention Yoga, let alone reliably cite evidence that the company was founded, like Lululemon, specially to sell Yoga merchandise. There is no mention that I could find on Aritzia's own 'About us' page on its website, either, so it seems highly unlikely that the company can have been founded for this purpose. Accordingly the Wikipedia article should not be claiming, in purest WP:OR style, that this is a yoga company (with the Yoga as exercise navbar), and there is no place for Aritzia in that template, for the same reason.
I see no improvement in the article at all, just a desperate clutching at straws not to be dismissed for incompetent work making the page into something more effective as an advertisement for Aritzia. That can't be permitted here. Chiswick Chap (talk) 05:40, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
