Strider Knives, Inc.[edit]

Advertising. That FAQ is obviously a copyvio, though I can't find it. Rick K 06:16, Jan 24, 2005 (UTC)

It's not really. The FAQ I just made up off the top of my head. And besides, I have totally no relation to the company. I just like their products and there's a fascinating history behind them. If this is a problem, I apologize. I'm still figuring it out. If you'd like to discuss this, I'd be happy to. I'm totally new and learning the ropes. It's not advertising. And the FAQ is not "obviously" a copyright violation. You can't find it because it's NOT a violation of someone else's content. I just wrote it.--Biogon 06:24, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Wikipedia articles are not lists of frequently asked questions. Send to Cleanup. Uncle G 14:05, 2005 Jan 24 (UTC)
"We could tell you, but then we'd have to kill you" is why it looks incredibly like copyvio advertising. Most of it's reasonably neutral in tone. Keep and cleanup the formatting/style for wikipedia standards. Kappa 06:41, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Keep Strider Knives are certainly very well known. Not all business-related articles are ads. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 12:12, Jan 24, 2005 (UTC)
23,000 hits for "Strider knives". Apparently quite notable. Keep and Cleanup to make it look less like advertising. — Asbestos | Talk 12:15, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Keep, strongly notable. VfD is not a cleanup tool. GRider\^talk 19:58, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Your repeated personal attacks and lack of Wikiquette have become tiresome. Why not just vote up or down and give your reasons, insted of feeling the need to question the motives of the nominator? RickK 00:34, Jan 25, 2005 (UTC)
  - Sorry you mistook my mantra as a personal attack. Whilst on the subject, your repeated deletionist rampages have grown tiresome as well. Don't take your agression out on me just because I disagree with you. GRider\^talk 18:15, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)
