@Bbb23: What is your objection to the speedy deletion? QuicoleJR (talk) 21:41, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's not tough to figure out; I don't think the article is so promotional that it would require a rewrite. Actually, I don't think it's promotional at all, although it could use some work. I also don't think you're sufficiently experienced to be tagging articles for speedy deletion. Why are you so interested in articles with "Kirby" anyway? It's kind of odd.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:49, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

All fair points. I think an {{advert}} tag would suffice. I put "promotional" because it uses promotional language and peacock prose. As for the Kirby thing, I'm a fan of the video games and figured I'd check out the disambiguation page and see what was on it. QuicoleJR (talk) 22:07, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What language do you find "promotional"?--Bbb23 (talk) 22:38, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In hindsight, it really was not that promotional, although the subsidiaries section needs work, and the board section seems unnecessary. Sorry. QuicoleJR (talk) 22:50, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
