I need help with an article I created and updating an existing article. Can anyone please guide me? FastnloudCov (talk) 09:58, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@FastnloudCov:, I am assuming you mean Draft:GOAT Group and this which is in your sandbox. First, please read WP:COI and WP:PAID and make the appropriate disclosure if applicable. Once that is done, can you explain the difference between those and GOAT (platform) as it appears to be the same? If a page already exists on the topic, it would be better to request the edits on the talk page. --CNMall41 (talk) 18:22, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

CNMall41 Sorry for the delayed response. I read the guidelines on conflict of interest and having one I made the disclosure on my user page. If this isn’t sufficient please tell me what additional information is needed. I do not want to submit anything until that is correct. For GOAT, it originally started as a platform but after a merger it created a parent company with many brands. I do not believe the individual brands other than the platform are notable so I included them in the draft for the parent company. References do talk about the platform and group separately so they are two companies and not the same. Please guide me on the next steps. --FastnloudCov (talk) 21:14, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@FastnloudCov:, I cleaned up the sandbox content to ensure everything matched the references. Looks like you moved a lot of information from that to the draft for the parent company. If I am online I will take a closer look at that tomorrow. You are free to submit the draft if you want someone to review it quicker. The COI disclosure looks fine. --CNMall41 (talk) 04:29, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@FastnloudCov:, I looked closer at Draft:GOAT Group and cannot see how it differs from GOAT (platform). Can you provide me with three sources meeting WP:ORGCRIT that shows how this is independently notable? If so, I will go back and look at the draft. --CNMall41 (talk) 23:13, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you CNMall41. Here are the three references you requested.

• LA Times article that discusses how GOAT got started. It begins with the GOAT platform but then transitions into how GOAT Group was formed and the rest of the article is about GOAT Group and its subsidiaries. https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2021-07-16/goat-group-sneaker-empire-funding-expansion-plans
• Wall Street Journal article that talks about a funding round in 2021. It briefly lists the funding and then goes into detail about GOAT Group and its products and subsidiaries. It is more than just funding because it talks more about the GOAT Group’s history than funding. https://www.wsj.com/articles/goat-group-parent-of-sneaker-marketplace-valued-at-3-7-billion-in-latest-funding-round-11624532400
• Vogue article talks about how the formation of GOAT Group would be used to expand into other markets. It talks about valuation and also about how it got started. https://www.voguebusiness.com/companies/inside-goats-plans-to-merge-sneaker-resale-and-retail FastnloudCov (talk) 21:45, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@FastnloudCov:, I moved the page to the mainspace, although I also tagged one for a reference ("alias" subsection). I believe the information may be in the Wall Street Journal reference but I can only access part of that article. If you can provide an additional source for that I will add it. --CNMall41 (talk) 23:54, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry it took so long to reply to you. Can you add a logo and do some minor changes? In the second paragraph of the “History” section, can we add the words “and apparel” after the wording “platform that allows users to list their own sneakers….” so that it reads “platform that allows users to list their own sneakers and apparel.” This is supported by the Wall Street Journal reference and Tech Crunch (https://techcrunch.com/2021/06/24/sneaker-marketplace-goat-hits-3-7-billion-valuation-in-series-f-raise/). The same for the section on “alias” which should also say it is a “sneaker and apparel” platform. For that same section, can it be changed to “It was launched in 2020 as an extension of GOAT’s seller” platform?” It is not part of GOAT as it is a separate entity but the wording makes it seem like it is. For the article on GOAT Group, can we remove the name “Chloe” under the partnerships?--FastnloudCov (talk) 21:33, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@FastnloudCov:, forgive the directness, but these need to be requested on the talk pages. I am just seeing this now so I am unsure how you expect to get a response, especially when you don't ping an editor. Please read this guide for making such requests. --CNMall41 (talk) 19:20, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You also need to be more clear on where the edits go. I believe you switched the names of the pages as I had to search to determine what you meant for each request. For the logo, it looks like one was added to the platform page. If you are referring to the group page, you will need to specific the logo location and make that request on the talk page. Again, this is the proper way to make a COI request. I won't respond to additional ones you request here. --CNMall41 (talk) 19:29, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can this be rescued or deleted? Please ping me. Bearian (talk) 04:55, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bearian:, it exists and is mentioned in a lot of routine press and patent publications, but I do not see anything that talks about the company in-depth which is required by WP:NCORP. I would vote !Delete but I am only one opinion. --CNMall41 (talk) 07:12, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there! I'm a Dell Technologies employee looking for independent editors to review my rewrite of the company article's History section. My draft clarifies the section by firming up sourcing, organizing events chronologically, and cutting some unsourcable/irrelevant passages. You can view my edit request and section draft by visiting the Dell Tech Talk page. I'm happy to field feedback, answer questions, and/or adjust my draft as needed. Looking forward to hearing from folks! JM with Dell Technologies (talk) 19:36, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Could someone take a look at Crowne Plaza by IHG? The article was recently moved to this title by an employee of the parent company. The move looks to have been made in good faith; so, I'm not asserting any attempt at promotion here. It's just that no source seems to have been provided in support other than a link to the hotel's Instagram account in an edit summary. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:46, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This has been unreferenced for over 15 years. If it's notable, then find and add reliable sources. If not, then perhaps it can be discussed at WP:AfD. Bearian (talk) 00:04, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
