AfD & PROD Preparatory and Draft Work

edit

I am intending to participate more in AfD discussions and I am using this page to create source assessment tables, draft comments and replies and other preparatory work that I find useful. I also intend to archive my work here once the AfDs conclude.

I regularly archive this page to remove stale contents from resolved discussions.

AfD for LesserEvil MkII

Has been recreated. Link to my old work for the first AfD.

Nomination draft

edit

I nominated this page for deletion for not establishing its notability in 2022 and I've now realised it has been recreated. Admittedly, the article now has more sources than it did then but as can be seen from the table below, there are still no sources that count towards GNG or ORGCRIT. They are almost all either small local newspapers or specialist trade publications. In any case, the sources either largely depend on quotes or read like press releases. It should be deleted.

Table

edit
Source assessment table:
Source Independent? Reliable? Significant coverage? Count source toward GNG?
Pitchbook (https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/128856-34#overview) ? Unknown where Pitchbook gets their info from but doubtful it is independent.     WP:ORGTRIV Merely an entry into a database No
International Bakery Article (https://in-bakery.com/lesserevil-collaborates-with-rind-snacks/)   The article consists largely (though) not entirely of quotes   IB seems to be an indutry blog largely publishing press releases, not a secondary source as such   barely No
The Journal News, White Plains NY article (https://www.newspapers.com/image/166431624/?clipping_id=131265720&fcfToken=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJmcmVlLXZpZXctaWQiOjE2NjQzMTYyNCwiaWF0IjoxNzEyMDc2MjcyLCJleHAiOjE3MTIxNjI2NzJ9.p5UIjOhpxTsTgxJjWAhxUUrtn66o7Rfk9j7GFrpgnRA)   Consists largely of quotes and reads like a press release ? I assume the Newspaper in question is reliable but I don't know   WP:AUD the newspaper's audience is too local No
Stamford Advocate article (https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/news/article/judges-like-what-they-savor-in-lesserevil-3442484.php)   Consists largely of quotes and reads like a press release ? I assume the Newspaper in question is reliable but I don't know   In any event, WP:AUD the newspaper's audience is too local No
Own company website history   Obviously the co's own coverage is not independent No
Hatford Business Journal article (https://www.hartfordbusiness.com/article/nearing-100m-in-annual-revenues-cts-lesserevil-expands-organic-snack-foods-line-readies-new)   Large quotes and the article simply rattles off facts that likely came from the company, not much evidence of their own journalism but not as quote-heavy as some of the others ? The HBJ seems to largely publish press releases, but I am unsure about its journalistic practices   Very doubtful about its circulation per WP:AUD but the coverage is more in-depth than the other articles No
Danbury daily voice article (https://dailyvoice.com/connecticut/danbury/business/lesserevil-snacks-opens-a-new-factory-in-danbury/580408/)   Largely quotes ? I assume the Newspaper in question is reliable but I don't know   WP:AUD local newspaper No
Danbury's Financial Report   Presumable   I presume it is   The City of Danbury's financial report is not significant is a primary source No
Nosh article (https://www.nosh.com/news/2020/lesserevil-moves-into-new-categories-expands-distribution/)   Many quotes; reads like a press release   Reads like a press release   It's a specialist trade blog/magazine No
Foodbusiness news article (https://www.foodbusinessnews.net/articles/21129-lesserevil-enters-bar-category-with-acquisition-of-redd-bar)   Mostly quotes   Reads like a press release   It's a specialist trade blog/magazine No

Preliminary Investigations

edit

On cursory investigation no claim to notability. Need to consider Wikipedia:SCHOOLOUTCOMES further.
