Killing the tags

I killed the stack of nastygrams at the top of the article:

• POV: No further information about what might be biased.
• Notability: We have articles for similarly unimportant American goods, like neosporin.
• References: I added a reference.

 Done Sohom (talk) 15:02, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Marketing

• During the early 1900s, it was considered a matter of pride to be using the locally made Boroline over other similar foreign creams., considering the product was made in the 1920s, the decade should be made closer to when Boroline was considered as such.

 Done Sohom (talk) 15:02, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

• During this time, the company was run by..., what time?

1950, added Sohom (talk) 15:02, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Refs

• Ref 9 doesn't seem reliable due to the nature of its website focusing on health claims. Hopefully change and omit the source.

 Done Sohom (talk) 15:02, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Spotchecks

• Spotchecks, manual and earwig show nothing. Pass.

Images

• Image is relevant and have proper licensing. Considering the products age, copyright free images of the founder or the product itself in its early stages could be used due to copyright laws. :)

I'll go through and see if I can find a properly dated advertisement of the product. Sohom (talk) 15:02, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Misc.

• No ongoing edit war, focused on the topic, broad information, no bias.
