With this edit [1] the entire history of the publication as well as all information about who owns and used to own and statted it was gutted. Dead links does not negate that the info was properly sourced. Info about the owner of a newspaper is perfectly appropriate to include in an article. If the editor who did this was not an Admin who is perfectly willing to block me for no good reason, I'll revert this edit as wilful vandalism. Unbelievable.

It's a straightforward removal of material that is undue weight. This article is, nominally, about the publication, and survived deletion solely on that basis. Everything that was in the article that was about the publication is still there. What was removed were the 270-odd words of coatracking material about the publication's holding company, for which there was a unanimous-minus-you consensus for removal, and which is of no interest of anyone except to the principals of that company who no doubt paid for it. You think we should have an article about BizWest? I don't necessarily disagree. Feel free to write one. Or to change the article that was here into one. This was neither. —Cryptic 01:42, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Trying hard not to see this as a personal attack against me and AGF. I get you look for ways to discrete me at every turn, but its not appreciated. Wall Steet Journal, Fox News, and every other half built out page has something about who owns the media outlet. How do you justify removing the info on the publications that were merged and their history? Legacypac (talk) 02:18, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The only person making personal attacks here is you.

Those other articles contain information about their owners, but - unlike this one before my edit - do not consist almost entirely of such. Plainly. The removal of the paper's parent publications was an oversight, for which I hope I might be forgiven - it was stated in terms of an action by the company, not as part of BizWest's own history. I've restored it and given it an absolute minimum copyedit to make it be the latter; I'm holding off on more for the sake of transparency, but it very much needs it. (Not least because it paraphrases its source pretty closely.) —Cryptic 02:42, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Additions/tweaks to this page

Hello,

I am an owner and editor of this publication, and as I noted on another Talk page, I was hoping to suggest a few additions to this page. I understand that nothing should be promotional (and agree with that). One important note is that BizWest covers not only Northern Colorado but also the Boulder Valley. We also publish many other magazines and industry directories, and organize business-related events. In looking at other pages, including the Wall Street Journal, I see that they have similar content. So could we add something like:

BizWest is a print and electronic business newspaper covering the Boulder Valley and Northern Colorado, including Boulder, Broomfield, Larimer and Weld counties.

BizWest's website is updated throughout the day with breaking business news. The publication also produces two daily business email newsletters, along with weekly, biweekly and monthly industry newsletters.

BizWest produces numerous business-related events, including real estate conferences, an energy summit, an economic forecast and awards programs honoring entrepreneurs, innovation and fast-growing companies.

BizWest also publishes a Book of Lists, Giving Guide, Boomers retirement guide, Blueprints construction directory, medical directories for the Boulder Valley and Northern Colorado, and other magazines and directories.

History: The published Wikipedia history for BizWest starts with 2010. However, BizWest's history dates back to 1982 for the Boulder County Business Report and 1995 for the Northern Colorado Business Report. You probably prefer citations from sources other than our own website, but that really doesn't exist for BCBR, given the year it was started. For NCBR, other media did report the launch in 1995, but those publications have not digitized those articles (although I have clips of them). For both of our forerunner publications, I have provided links from our website with historical information. I could also provide citations from other media, without links.

A major event that the Northern Colorado Business Report produced in 2005 garnered widespread coverage, even in recent days:
