This article may read too much like a self-promotion. The content of the article does not establish notability, and contains information that I consider too trivial for an encyclopedia. Richard Cavell (talk) 06:11, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Delete, the article is certainly very promotional in tone, but there seems to be a fair bit of noise on Google about this company; they may be a notable retailer in India - without knowing any Indian languages, I can't be sure though. If kept, needs to be thoroughly cleaned up. Lankiveil (speak to me) 06:39, 28 November 2008 (UTC).[reply]
newbie, the article has been written as there are similar articles on stores such as Harvey Nichols and Harrods and Urban Shore is another, much smaller store in India which specialises in specialist skincare, not sure how it is different from Harrods page for example, (obviously it doesn't have the history that Harrods has but is making history by being the first in india). There are a number of people that are interested in the brands and that it is a new concept in India. It has included refernces from editorials from a number of independent magazines and publications from the UK and India, none of them are advertisement links and we would welcome advise or editing of the pages to make it more balanced rather than deletion, there are historical details that need to be added, in terms of where the store is, it's in a market which is mentioned in the lonely planet guide for India, it also shows that India is a market where products from the UK, USA, Europe and Australia are are sold, hope we can keep the page and improve it to maintian the standards set by Wikipedia rather than delete it.

Delete: Given the promotional tone and the fact that an article called Urban Shore is being argued in favor of by an editor named Urban Shore is just too much for me. Chicken Wing (talk) 11:02, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong Delete blatant self promotion. WP:ADVERT. couldn't find any real third party media coverage in Google news search. Michellecrisp (talk) 11:56, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Speedy delete (G11) as blatant advertisement. I would recommend going through the Wikipedia tutorial and doing a complete rewrite but in an encyclopedic tone rather than in the current tone. You may want to look at other good articles, such as Odwalla, as an example of how to write an article. Also, keep in mind that there is a conflict of interest, so caution must be exercised while editing the article in order to keep it in a neutral point of view.

- Delete. Reluctant to say spam. Nonetheless, this is entirely promotional. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 19:00, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as spam. Though Google search throws up few results, none of them are third party reliable sources. Salih (talk) 05:56, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per G11 because the whole article consists of advertisement. abf /talk to me/ 11:06, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
