Talk:SweeTango

Removed Delete notice. Showed several reasons for its notability under Trademark and Patent section pertaining to SweeTango's Patent - with references. One reason for its notability is that it is superior to the state fruit of Minnesota, the Honeycrisp apple (its "mother"). Its "father" is the Zestar Apple. Association of University Technology Managers named the Zestar apple one of the top 25 innovations that changed the world. See also new Notability section with numerous references.--Doug Coldwell ^talk 12:16, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

Corrected this information - the cited article says "Honeycrisp" was one of the top 25 innovations, not "Zestar."96.35.174.133 (talk) 11:55, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Is it just me or is this article worded too much like an advertisement? I'm not challenging the notability of the subject itself, I just get the feeling from skimming through it that it goes into much more detail about things like the patent than would be considered encyclopedic for any similar articles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.164.61.77 (talk) 06:11, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

This is obviously an advertisement, why has this not been deleted? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.85.71.140 (talk) 05:31, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I've got to agree with the above, this article isn't 'good', needs more work. Leo Breman (talk) 17:14, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

Removing "Notability" section from the article

I'm removing the section called "Notability" from the article. I'm posting it here, as its citations may have information that could be used to improve the article, and the citations could establish notability if the article is nominated for deletion again (it was apparently nominated in the past). The style of writing and much of the content is decidedly not appropriate for an encyclopedia. Also, references to the University of Minnesota's and Pepin Heights' websites explaining their positions on ethical criticism about them are not neutral, reliable sources. Following is the current content of the Notability section that I'm removing:

WCCO Broadcasting explains that the SweeTango is a good eating apple as well as a good cooking apple and goes on to say

“ The apple has all the sugar you crave with just a hint of tartness, just the right combination for any fruit fanatic. ”

Wall Street Journal says that New York farmers are looking for the next big "Moneycrisp", previously the Honeycrisp, and believe the SweeTango is it for the future.

USA Today writes that Minnesota apple growers believe that SweeTango is a possible worthy successor to the popular and highly successful Honeycrisp apple variety.

Associated Press reports on the Hot New Apple: SweeTango, Spicy and Sweet and gives an extensive review.

StarTribune newspaper reports that the AppleHouse opens at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum featuring the new SweeTango .

The News Tribune newspaper writes a report that the Licensing deal for hot new apple comes under fire for University of Minnesota's exclusive rights to the intellectual property of the SweeTango growing exclusive licensing deals. Others have explained the concept behind this.

Post-Bulletin newspaper reports that Pepin Heights Orchard believes that they have the next "dynamite" apple with the SweeTango.

University of Minnesota reports that this new brand of apple is a "managed variety", meaning to maintain high quality standards.

Foodgreekery believes that SweeTango is Honeycrisp's nightmare.

A fruit grower comments on the SweeTango in confidence of its future

“ The growers and marketers of the new apple variety SweeTango share confidence in its future. ”

A recipe for SweeTango apple cobbler can be found online. Numerous reviews of the SweeTango apple can be found online.

As per Doug Caldwell CCI investigation. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 14:17, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Lee, I was browsing the article the other day from (yes) my hair app't with my iPad, and found copyvio. But didn't write it down because, wet hair :) I can go back and search again if need be, but everything needs to be re-checked. If you can't find it, I'll look again. The article is worthy of a save.

Besides the normal issues, the single quotes around the types of apples is a big MOS problem --In actu (Guerillero) ^{Parlez Moi} 14:24, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Sure, I dunno about "big", but yeah, they shouldn't be there. I'll have a good look later - there's a link flagged up by earwig, but it must be a newly added item to Earwig as I didn't see it when I did the review, nor when I said I'd open a GAR. I think it'd be easy enough to fix as it can be reworded easy enough I think. I've been a little bit quiet the last month or so with some off-wiki work, so I'll give this my full attention when I get half hour. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:44, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Similarly, I won't be able to revisit probably for a few days, but will re-locate the issue as soon as I have a free block of time to dig in. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:49, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

First copyvio fixed (every source needs to be reviewed). SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:57, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

First example of source-to-text integrity (entire article needs checking). DC was quite fond of "firsts":

• ... was released in 2006 and officially available to the public in 2007. The apple first sold in eastern United States in 2009.

Source doesn't support "first", and says "will be" sold in the fall ... how do we know it was ? And that's an old source; when did it become available actually? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 18:05, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

First example of failed verification (extending a general statement made in the source to the Sweetango):

• The apple variety 'Minneiska' was intentionally bred and selected for its combination of 20 fruit characteristic traits.

Entire article needs to be checked for same, which is characteristic of problems found in other articles.

These are samples only. My suggestion is to delist, patch up the article, and re-submit to GA. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 18:10, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

Sure. That's fine. I don't think it's super eggregious, if you changed to not comment about it being sold first in the US and the second piece is more puff than anything. I don't think it is too difficult to fix up, but I'm not in the position to make the necessary changes (maybe another time). It's a bit of a shame, as the copyvio issues are much less obvious than other articles in the list. When I get 20 free I'll see if I can fix the puff, but we do need to chop up some of the actual copyright violations (or close paraphrasing at least). I'll desist for now.
