Talk:Food Tank

Contested deletion

This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... It simply lists facts about this specific non-profit organization, including its mission, programming, and leadership. All information has been independently researched, cited, and verified, and the language included is objective in its description of the organization as a public entity. Thank you for your consideration. SMH425 (talk) 00:50, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

Contested deletion

This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... this is an informational page about a non-profit organization that was independently researched, written, and cited. The language used is completely objective and does not advertise or promote the organization in any way. If there are ways that I can improve the page, I would be happy to implement changes. Thank you! --SMH425 (talk) 01:16, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

What is meant by independent, reliable sources

Regarding this revert of my May 3 deletion of material. My deletion was based on the assertion that the material did not meet the bar for primary sources, i.e. it consisted mostly of show listings and quasi-promotional inter-references from the hosting channels and so forth. This probably also fails WP:NOTDIR. I'd like to hear from the editor who reverted (Mklwade) or anyone else: why the material should be allowed under guideline or policy especially in light of WP:PRIMARY and WP:NOT. ☆ Bri (talk) 14:56, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

Three days later, no engagement; I shall make the edits again per BRD. ☆ Bri (talk) 23:25, 8 May 2022 (UTC)

Restoring info on who founded Food Tank

Prior to 1 May 2024, this article had the following clause about who founded Food Tank in 2013: "... by Danielle Nierenberg, Bernard Pollack, and Ellen Gustafson, ...." It was edited out by User:Emilyrosep with explanation "Edited the organization summary," but no indication of why the names were removed.

If there were errors, it would be helpful to know what they were. If not, the names should probably be restored. In any event, it is helpful to have info on the founders of an organization.--A12n (talk) 16:40, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
