[edit]

This company should be noted for its innovations in sustainable manufacturing and its environmental efforts as model for other such companies. Kateetak (talk) 15:00, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

While the company may be notable (and that's still not clear to me from the references), the article is wholly promotional in tone, which is not surprising as it borrows heavily, if not exclusively, from the company's own website. Please read WP:Spam and WP:CORP. – ukexpat (talk) 15:34, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am doing everything I can think of to fix this article. It is my first time writing for Wikipedia. Please let me know what I can do.

remove tag for deletion?

[edit]

I am completely overwhelmed! Thank you for helping me work through this. I am confused about what I am still required to to in order to resolve the article issues and remove the tag for deletion. Kateetak (talk) 13:52, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Afd (article for deletion) tag must not be removed until the deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/HARBEC Plastics is concluded. The admin who closes the Afd will deal with the article in accordance with the consensus reached. Please feel free to contribute to the deletion discussion. I have tagged the article to flag issues that will have to be dealt with if the article survives Afd. – ukexpat (talk) 14:24, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Kateetak (talk) 16:40, 19 December 2008 (UTC)== will pics help? ==[reply]

I have a number of images that I am gathering (and licensing) that will document some of Harbec's contributions- wind turbine, green vehicled, CHP plant and water filtration. Will this help?

Pictures won't necessarily help establish notability, which is what is being discussed about this company here. For something to be included in Wikipedia, it has to have coverage by reliable third party sources. It is decided if the article will stay if there is consensus to keep it in the AFD (article for deletion) discussion. My opinion is that it should stay. Sorry if this is confusing and/or alarming. A rule of thumb on wikipedia is to not "bite" the newcomers, but it seems that has occurred (to an extent) in this case. Killiondude (talk) 23:14, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know about whom you are making the "bite" comment, but I think it's completely unjustified. As originally created the article was a copyvio and was deleted accordingly. It has been re-created and again had problems which led to the Afd nomination and issues tags - there is nothing bitey about that, it happens all the time. As far as I can see those of us who have been involved in editing this article have been nothing but helpful. – ukexpat (talk) 02:23, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I wasn't saying you were biting the new user. On the contrary, from your postings on this talk page you've been quite helpful to him or her. In my opinion the person nominating this for deletion was a little "bitey". He or she nominated it and hasn't really helped Kateetak through any of it. Without the efforts of you (Ukexpat) and Kan8die, I doubt the article creator would know what was going on, how to resolve it, etc. Perhaps "bitey" has too harsh of a connotation in the Wikipedia community, but I can't think of another way to phrase it. I'm not trying to attack anyone, especially you. Killiondude (talk) 06:44, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Everyone has been remarkably helpful. I am always surprised and heart warmed by the helpfulness that is available on the web. I am particularly impressed by the wikipedia community. Thank you to everyone!Kateetak (talk) 20:43, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Name

[edit]

As far as I can tell, the correct name of the company is "HARBEC Plastics", so I have moved the page back here. Wikipedia:Naming conventions (companies) does not mention the difference between HARBEC and Harbec, and Wikipedia:Naming conventions (capitalization) talks almost entirely about second and subsequent words and articles. Accordingly, I can find no reason not to name the page with the same spelling that the company's own literature uses (as NCCORP suggests is the way to go).— Kan8eDie (talk) 18:23, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your reasoning sounds right to me. – ukexpat (talk) 19:52, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This company is a fraud and a sham.

He has built this empire on the backs of his workers... his workers are some of the lowest payed workers in the county.

His enviromental record... is not what it seems. Back before he was swept up in the green-tide he used to dump waste oil in the vacent lots up and down Dean Parkway... we are still finding drums of waste oil from his company. Same with waste plastic pellets and regrind. He dug pits to dispose of the waste then blamed it on another plastic company.

Honestly what he is doing isn't all that noteworthy he's just got good PR and he's trying to green-wash his reputation... a reputation as a shithouse molder that pays slave-wages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.252.133.186 (talk) 15:57, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
