Dear MarcGarver

I saw that you did unfortunately not approve my article about Yumeko_(company).

However, this content has also previously been reviewed and approved by Dutch Wikipedia editors. In the editing process with them I removed all issues that could be referred to as marketing and chose a more neutral tone, & added respected and independent sources as reference. You can see the page at https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yumeko

As they are the sustainable market leader in The Netherlands and active in all of Europe, I think they should be featured on the English language Wikipedia, like all other textile & fashion brands.

Could you please let me know what you would like to see differently?

Kind regards Manuel Manifesto345 (talk) 14:28, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

I will give you some examples

• "Yumeko emphasizes corporate social responsibility, focusing on fair trade and sustainability by collaborating with producers across twelve different countries"
• "The company's social mission is "Change The World Sleeping" to reform the bedding and bath industry from within, improving production chains."
• "The company works with producers and farmer cooperatives to improve positive impact"

All of these could have been written by the PR or marketing department of the company, or taken straight from their website. What's needed is what independent sources say about the company, not what they say about themselves. When selecting a source you need to be careful that it really is independent. Plenty of companies issue a press release which is copied by "news" websites and presented as fact. What you are looking for is, for example, a review by a serious newspaper into the fair trade industry in the field of bedding that references in some detail the work of this company. If those sources don't exist, you need to avoid using what is essentially just promotional material. MarcGarver (talk) 17:30, 29 October 2024 (UTC)
