Notability
[edit]§This is a legitimate company that serves over 800,000 customers in 7 states. Smaller companies have a wikipedia page. This page should not be deleted
- Please stop deleting the tag and read the section of Wikipedia on notability. There has been no assertion of notability made. Being a "bigger company than some others on Wikipedia" or serving 800,000 customers is not necessarily notable. Wperdue (talk) 18:37, 17 April 2009 (UTC)wperdue
What is noteable then? Why are smaller companies with less customers more noteable? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mattcguy (talk • contribs) 18:45, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
- Did you read the linked section on notability? The number of customers a company has does not make it notable. Notability requires non-trivial coverage in multiple verifiable reliable sources. Please refer to the links for more information. I hope this is helpful and answers your questions. Wperdue (talk) 18:49, 17 April 2009 (UTC)wperdue
OK, I am adding other sources, but this page should not be deleted. I cannot figure out how to get the references to show though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mattcguy (talk • contribs) 18:57, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
OK, I added more information that is noteable, with verifiable independent links. Will you remove your tag now?§
- It looks to be much improved. Wperdue (talk) 20:08, 17 April 2009 (UTC)wperdue
Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mattcguy (talk • contribs) 20:08, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
Point of View
[edit]Two related articles, IGS Energy and Natural Gas Choice, have been nearly 100% written by two single purpose accounts, Mattcguy (talk • contribs) and Redsfan44 (talk • contribs). (other edits to promote IGS Energy 1 2 3 4 5 or remove adverse information 1 2.) These contributions are not a neutral point of view, and paint a rosy picture, seemingly crafted to appeal to IGS Energy's customers. The contributions do not discuss in plain talk what these things are, or describe the workings from any other viewpoint than the "brochure view" a marketer would offer a customer. A web search on these topics reveals a rather different picture, in which consumers and employees have a lot of problems. Other dialogue on the Talk page vaguely suggests sense of ownership by contributors. All these factors are circumstantial, but together they lend the appearance of conflict of interest and paid editing in my opinion. 174.62.117.228 (talk) 18:22, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
