Suggesting Products section as Marketing replacement
Hello there! This article has a flag on it that says it "contains content that is written like an advertisement." I've been thinking about how to fix that problem. Perhaps we should remove the Marketing section? A lot of the content there strikes me as promotional in tone, and less than encyclopedic. I suggest that Marketing be replaced with a Products section that's less about Canada Goose's branding and more about the goods it manufactures and sells. I've composed a Products draft below, which independent editors are free to review:
Products section draft
Canada Goose manufactures winter clothing, including coats, parkas, knitwear, hats, gloves and footwear.[1][2] Its longest-running products are heavy winter coats lined with goose down, which are meant to keep the wearer warm in freezing temperatures.[3][4] These coats have been worn by researchers in the
United States Antarctic Program and in dogsledding events such as the
Iditarod and the
Yukon Quest[5][6] In 2011, as an anti-counterfeiting measure, Canada Goose began sewing
hologram trademarks into its jackets as proof of authenticity.[7] In November 2018, the company acquired the bootmaker Baffin. In November 2021, Canada Goose launched its first-ever footwear collection.[8][9]
User:MrOllie added the "written like an advertisement" flag to the article a few years ago, so I'm going to tag them here, if they want to give their thoughts on the Marketing section and/or my Products draft. Other editors are free to contribute to the discussion as well. Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to weigh in.

@
Canada Goose Isabella: Personally, I find most of the proposed section to be fine. However, if the proposal involves entirely replacing the marketing section, I believe it would be beneficial to incorporate certain elements from the existing marketing section into your proposal. Specifically, retaining details about the red circle would be beneficial as it is a prominent element of the brand. I should note though that the information about the red badge should be drawn from the two citations within the article, rather than the existing content, as that content extrapolates beyond what is written in those citations.
I also believe that the anti-counterfeiting sentence would fit more in the counterfeiting section. That said, if the proposed changes are implemented, I feel it would be suitable to reformat the counterfeiting section into a subsection of the product section, given that it concerns the counterfeiting of products.
Also, the sentence on the US Antarctic and dog sledding makes me wonder if that would be more appropriately placed in the history section, seeing as how it is briefly mentioned in that section's first paragraph. That said, I'm not really attached to that thought as I feel it can be appropriately placed in both, so I'd be more than willing to discuss that with yourself or other editors if people disagree with that.

These are very helpful suggestions. Thank you,
User:Leventio. Taking your feedback and making a few editorial decisions of my own, I've assembled a Products section that has Marketing, Counterfeiting, and Sustainability and treatment of animals subsections. You can take a look at that full draft within a subspace of
my user page.
I'll briefly summarize what I've done with that draft:
Kept Products the same as it is above, except for a couple minor grammatical tweaks and moving a sentence about counterfeiting to the Counterfeiting subsection
Trimmed Marketing content so that it's a little leaner overall and reflects what the cited sources say; also cut sentence about Goose's Black Label
Cut unsourced passage from Counterfeiting and the bit about counterfeiting raising brand awareness in China, lightly rewrote some existing content so that it's more concise and reflects what the sources say
Condensed the Treatment of coyotes and geese section, added some information about sustainability/environmental efforts the company has recently made, and retitled the subsection Sustainability and treatment of animals
I should emphasize that, in that last subsection, my aim is not to sweep controversies about animal treatment under the rug. Those were well-covered in the press and deserve to be in the article. All I'm trying to do is add context and note that the company has made similarly well-covered efforts to be more animal and environment-friendly over the past few years.
Again, I really appreciate the feedback Leventio. Please let me know if you have any issues with what I'm proposing, or if I can do anything to help the review process. Cheers,

@
Canada Goose Isabella: The draft looks great overall! That said, I do have a few suggestions:
Somewhat minor, but the "Marketing" subheader can be removed, and the paragraph about the red badge can just exist as a paragraph within the product section itself.
Concerning the carbon neutral by 2025 sentence, I have a bit of an issue with its inclusion and am inclined to suggest its removal. I'm somewhat of the opinion that it goes against the spirit of
WP:FUTURE, as it pertains to an initiative whose progress remains uncertain (at least until sufficient information on its progress is available). At the moment, its inclusion is akin to an unreleased product announcement (or in this case, a CSR announcement).
I feel that there should be some info about the company's use of reclaimed furs from existing supply chains and its fur recycling efforts (as reported in the NYT article you've cited).
Other than that, I have no concerns with your condensing/trimming of said sections. That said, I'll defer to the opinions of other editors if they feel certain portions of the existing "Treatment of coyotes and geese" section should be included in your draft. Hope this helps!
Leventio (

Thanks once again for reviewing my draft,
User:Leventio. I made the changes you suggested and uploaded a second version of the section draft to my user space. Please follow
this link to view it. Dropping the Marketing header and the sentence about going carbon neutral were simple. I also rewrote the passage about coyote fur slightly and added a new reference. What happened was the company initially announced that it was going to use reclaimed fur. Then about a year later, it decided it would instead phase out fur completely.
I hope these edits address your concerns, but please do let me know if you have further feedback. Cheers!

In this case, it is absurd to suggest that this obscure clothing manufacturer is the primary topic for the term Canada Goose, and if read correctly, the

Hi again! I'd like to ask about adding a new photo to the page, potentially to replace the photo of the Canada Goose products showing the logo. The new image shows part of the sewing process at the Toronto Canada Goose factory. I've uploaded it to Wikimedia Commons and worked through the process to make sure it is appropriately released. If you go to

Thank you in advance for looking at this and if anything else is needed for the image, please let me know!
Canada Goose Isabella (
talk) 20:51, 17 January 2024 (UTC)reply
I don't think this is a good idea. All four of the current images show the Canada Goose logo, and we really don't need another photo that focuses entirely on the logo. An image of the actual manufacturing process might be more useful (e.g., how the fill is added to the coats, the process of obtaining and managing the fur, etc).
Risker (
talk) 01:22, 18 January 2024 (UTC)reply
I agree with the sentiment that a better image of the manufacturing process would be preferred. But I disagree that it isn't a "good image to use" simply because of the prominence of the logo (also, at least in my own opinion, only one/two of the images in the article place prominence on that).
This article presently has five images, three of which focus on storefronts (two just being entrances), and only two of which abide by
MOS:IMAGERELEVANCE guidelines concerning the article's actual content. I'd argue this image is much more relevant than the two storefront entrance images, as that actually (somewhat) depicts content that is written in the article (the Toronto production facility). Also, just for variety's sake, we could surely swap out one of those entrance images in place of this one...
Leventio (

I went ahead and added the following image, as well as another storefront image that is more relevant to the article's actual content.

Hello! I wanted to propose a brief Charitable efforts section draft for the article. This draft doesn't strive to cover every philanthropic endeavor the company has launched. Rather, I've tried to highlight a couple of notable initiatives that received a fair amount of coverage in reputable media outlets. Here is my proposed draft:
In 2019, Canada Goose instituted a program called Project Atigi, through which it has partnered with Inuit seamstresses across Canada to produce jackets and parkas.[1][2] Proceeds from the sale of this outerwear goes to the Canadian nonprofit organization
Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami.[1][2]
As the
COVID-19 pandemic was developing in March 2020, Canada Goose produced 2.5 million PPE units, which were delivered at cost to provincial and federal governments.[3][4] In June 2020, the company announced it was donating another 20,000 uniforms to personnel at eight
Mount Sinai hospitals in New York.[5]
I'll ask
User:Leventio if they would like to review, since they were very helpful with a previous request of mine. Other editors are welcome to review as well, if they feel one way or another about my proposal. Thanks!

On a related note, I've also removed the non-relevant/decorative images that were previously in this article. If there is any contention with the use of the image provided by Canada Goose Isabella, feel free to revert so we can discuss it here.

Hello! I wanted to propose a brief Charitable efforts section draft for the article. This draft doesn't strive to cover every philanthropic endeavor the company has launched. Rather, I've tried to highlight a couple of notable initiatives that received a fair amount of coverage in reputable media outlets. Here is my proposed draft:
In 2019, Canada Goose instituted a program called Project Atigi, through which it has partnered with Inuit seamstresses across Canada to produce jackets and parkas.[1][2] Proceeds from the sale of this outerwear goes to the Canadian nonprofit organization
Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami.[1][2]
As the
COVID-19 pandemic was developing in March 2020, Canada Goose produced 2.5 million PPE units, which were delivered at cost to provincial and federal governments.[3][4] In June 2020, the company announced it was donating another 20,000 uniforms to personnel at eight
Mount Sinai hospitals in New York.[5]
I'll ask
User:Leventio if they would like to review, since they were very helpful with a previous request of mine. Other editors are welcome to review as well, if they feel one way or another about my proposal. Thanks!

User:Canada Goose Isabella, I just wanted to comment that I've noted your request and will be able to assist in the next few days. That said, if any other editor wants to tackle this, they are more than welcome to. Cheers!

Apologies for the delay in response over the past weeks. I don't see any issues with proposal. I suggest renaming the section title to "Social Impact" so the section can be expanded in the future, more broadly speaking.

No worries about the delay,
User:Leventio. I really appreciate that you've come back to this. Changing the section title to Social impact is fine with me. If we made that change, would you feel comfortable adding the section draft text to the article? Let me know. And thanks again!

That sounds good. With that, I'm fine with the proposed content. I can add this later today, unless you have any additional proposals you want to include.
