Contested deletion
[edit]This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... XPO Logistics split into two companies today (August 2, 2021), and the new company is called GXO Logistics. It's a real company with real employees, real trading on the NYSE, real customers, etc., so I don't think this article should be deleted for the simple fact that this article will, inevitably, exist one day. I disclosed my potential for COI before creating the page to be transparent. I work for XPO, but I'm not paid to make Wikipedia edits — I just work there. My other reason for not deleting the page is none of the content is new. It's all migrated from existing content on the XPO Logistics page.

Proposed deletion, Dec 2022
[edit]![]() | This page was proposed for deletion by an editor in the past with the comment: promotional language It was contested by [[User:Gannymetis|Gannymetis]] ([[User talk:Gannymetis|talk]] · [[Special:Contribs/Gannymetis|contribs]]) with the comment: Removed promotional language; It's obvious both that the article needs to be improved and that it needs to exist. Will edit later. |

[edit]Hello ResonantDistortion. I would like to further discuss one of the removed tags please. The phrase "...the most comprehensive shared space offering in the country" seems to be a significant claim, therefore I think that it should be supported by a third-party source rather than a quote from the company.

- Hi - I would agree if it was stated as a verified fact - however the article text is currently very clear that it is the company itself making the claim. While a reliable secondary source is always preferable, the current source is adequate for the text. ResonantDistortion 16:10, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you for the explanation. I beg to differ; the claim is quite significant regardless of whether a qualifier is used for it. Therefore it seems that WP:SOURCES requires secondary sourcing here. Regards, MrsSnoozyTurtle 22:33, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
