Lancome only has 8 references, none of which come from major sources. Clinique only has 5, but 3 really because 2 are from its own website. The Goddessy Organics article has 20 references, all of which prove the company's notability and come from sources that are independent of the subject's corporate websites. References are directly from Conde Nast, Style Blazer, Price of Business, Boston Edge, Yahoo Finance, etc. and are objective third party articles, not from Goddessy and not Goddessy advertising.

See WP:OTHERSTUFF. We are not evaluating this article in comparison to others. ~Amatulić (talk) 14:58, 6 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Strong delete Wholly non-notable brand, poor ref's, likely WP:COI - Wikipedia is not a business directory and promotion like this is unacceptable the panda ₯’ 10:55, 6 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
There is no "likely" conflict of interest. I have zero interest in the company. My interest are my contributions to Wikipedia. Sohoforgotpassword (talk) 12:50, 6 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or merge to Stephanie Adams. The sources make a good case for notability of the founder, but not for the company. My assessment of the sources is below. ~Amatulić (talk) 14:58, 6 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
1. non-notable blog containing a quote from the founder
2. local-region AM radio interview
3. blog about domain names, not relevant
4. Parade magazine - trivial mention
5. Net worth - niche publication, article about founder, trivial mention of company
6. StyleBlazer - another niche publication, mention of 1 product in a longer list
7. Fashion Affair magazine cover art - does not demonstrate significant coverage, and makes no sense as a reference
8. Edge - trivial mention in a list
9. LaSplash - this is an advertisement, not coverage
10. goodenoughmother - interview with founder, not coverage of company
11. sunnyskyz - self-published blog article posted by founder
12. LaSplash, again - description of one product in a larger list, essentially trivial mention
13. madamenoir - coverage of founder, not the company
14. Your Health Journal - interview with author, no coverage of company
15. Yahoo Finance - coverage of founder, not company
16. New Telegraph - 1 quote from founder among over 100 quotations, trivial mention

Redirect to Stephanie Adams. A small mention is already in the Adams article, and that's pretty much all that's needed. -- Whpq (talk) 19:11, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Stephanie Adams; I went through the sources and agree entirely with Amatulic. --bonadea contributions talk 20:24, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect - absolutely no justification for a stand-alone promo-spam article. One of the interviews with the subject's owner says it all - "Adams has been featured in and on numerous magazine covers" - she has; not the company (which doesn't meet WP:CORPDEPTH). Banner's concerned are well-founded and Amatulić's analysis is comprehensive. St★lwart¹¹¹ 06:18, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete as G11 and redirect to Stephanie Adams]. --Bejnar (talk) 03:41, 11 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
