*'''Comment''' RyanHLewis, you wrote 'a loose definition [of Wikipedia] being: "A reference source containing information on a variety of topics.' The problem is, this is your opinion on what Wikipedia is or is not. We are not working with a 'loose definition', there is an officaial policy which we use in this situation. for the official policy on what Wikipedia is or is not, see [[WP:NOT]] where you will find that "Wikipedia is not the yellow pages. See Yellowikis for a project with that goal." and that "Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information". Also, I observe that you are the author of the article and the webmaster of the only company in this list, Hudson Glass. This is why I thought the list may also have been for the purpose of advertising your company. --[[User:Amists|Amists]] 16:42, 24 August 2006 (UTC) |

Stained Glass Dealers
Article appears to be set up as a "directory" who's only purpose is to advertise the business listed on the page. Wildthing61476 15:08, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
- I think this was set up as an underhand advertisement for Hudson Glass (nice try), but even if it wasnt, Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Delete per WP:NOT --Amists 15:23, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
