Windowmaker

Windowmaker (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)

Article about a company that fails to assert notability. They have developed a product which has an article in it's own right, but this doesn't automatically infer notability to the company. The current article is written in an advert style (and has been tagged as such). Several attempts at changing the article to a redirect to Window Maker have been made on and off since August 2006, but these have been repeatedly replaced by articles about the company by anonymous authors (who have been warned about reversion). I actually want the article changed to a redirect, rather than being deleted, so that we have some sort of 'official' standing on this article (at least until an improved or notable version is created).

• Delete It is not the same company that created Window Maker software. There is some coverage of the company but it appears to be just promotional or press releases. The current article does not assert notability as it does not cite any sources. --Snigbrook ^(talk) 11:31, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

• Speedy Delete Blatant Advertising. Create and protect redirect page to glazier or Window Maker. Jasynnash2 (talk) 11:34, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
