Iflorist

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

Unreferenced article for an unremarkable company which claims to operate 1800 florists, but in truth is just a company that provides services to those outlets. No assertion of notability is made e.g. turnover, number of employees, number of transactions per day/month/year etc. Biker Biker (talk) 15:15, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There's this story in The Register about faked positive reviews [1]. Other than that I don't see genuine independent coverage. Delete as NN. — Brianhe (talk) 18:49, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Much as I'm tempted to rewrite this article to begin "Iflorist is an online florist retailer noted for it alleged fabrication of positive online reviews to counter an overwhelmingly negative perception from real customers ...", I think it's got to be delete.

Delete per lack of notable third-party sources, media coverage in general. I didn't see any third-party links on Google and Yahoo that could help this article on an encyclopedia. SwisterTwister talk 00:27, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Cerejota (talk) 06:54, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Why was this relisted? There are three delete !votes, not counting the nominator, and absolutely no comments to keep. --MelanieN (talk) 01:17, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
