Talk:Daisy Roots

Expand, merge or redirect

This page is a mere dictionary definition (something which Wikipedia is not). It explains the meaning and etymology of a slang phrase and has some comments and examples on the usage of the phrase. Nothing here rises past what I would expect to read in a truly great unabridged dictionary. The definitions and usage discussions belong over in Wiktionary where folks with the right skills, interests and lexical tools can more easily sort out the meanings and origins.

Options to fix the page here include:

1. Expand the page with encyclopedic content - that is, content that goes well beyond the merely lexical.
2. Redirect the page to a more general page on the appropriate sub-genre of slang.
3. Replace the current contents with a soft-redirect to Wiktionary (usually done using the {{wi}} template).

Pending a better answer, I'm implementing option 3 for now. Rossami (talk) 21:56, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Daisy Roots UK

On 24 July 2008, anon user:82.29.2.185 overwrote part of this page with a stub about a UK-based company with the name "Daisy Roots". (See here.) This company does not yet appear to meet Wikipedia's generally accepted inclusion criteria for companies. I have reverted the page pending the presentation of evidence here that coverage of this company is appropriate for the encyclopedia. Thanks. Rossami (talk) 20:13, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

What do you need? Just checking the criteria now and it appears that the boxes are ticked. I will gather and link here shortly for further discussion / approval. Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.29.2.185 (talk) 20:27, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Ideally, we want links to books written primarily about the company. Failing that, we want to see substantive coverage in independent magazine articles (generally not including industry-specific trade magazines) or major newspapers. Press releases and articles derived primarily from press releases are excluded because they lack the independence necessary to substantiate an article. Articles that mention the company only in passing are also excluded. This article, for example, would fail because it is primarily about eco-shopping and only mentions the company as an example. The article needs to be primarily about the company. Hope that helps. Rossami (talk) 21:17, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
