Neighborhoodies[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This is a self-promoting page with failure to consider NPOV. The style of the text felt out of character for wikipedia, and it was this feeling that led me to google some phrases from this article. The page is almost entirely a duplication of text that can be found on the website for the umbrella company for neighborhoodies.

See the final entry at UA Brands to find the content that has been effectively reproduced here.

This article deviates from the style that is typical for wikipedia articles and appears to be more in line with marketing-style writing. The article contains so little actual objective, non-promotional style writing, that I believe it would be best to remove it outright. I like neighborhoodies as a company, but I believe this practice of duplicating the company's own summary should not be rewarded, either by allowing that summary to persist or by doing the work of rewriting the content should have been more neutrally constructed from the start.
