Removed Secton

"Criticisms

CityLink have been proven to lie to their consignees, and refuse to deliver packages."


Potenionally libelous so have removed this for now, if a person has a cite for this please put it back with the reference. Carpo1982 12:40, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A comment about frequent reports of poor service by Citylink has been added to the page. I have added three references totalling hundreds of reviews, which I believe fully supports the comment on their service.

Again, not wanting to quote WP:RS, quoting the sites as below is not really considered to be a reliable source. I'm going to leave these on there, but would prefer to change these to better sources if available Carpo1982 22:01, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Any particular reason why the link to reviews was removed? Given the fact that City Link has come in for a great deal of criticism from its victims - sorry, customers, erasing such a link is in itself a non-neutral point of view. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.201.12.122 (talk) 17:22, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Doubtful notability and original research

A quick look at this article only, but at first glance it seems consist of original research, and it has no citations that establish the notability of the subject, this article needs a rewrite, IMO Buffalo Bill talk to me 19:53, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Notable? Notorious, more like

City Link is one of the major names in courier delivery in the UK: I would imagine it's known to anyone who buys though mail order or ecommerce on any kind of regular basis. It's also been in the news a lot lately as the cause of Rentokil Initial Plc's poor 2008 Q1 performance.

See e.g. http://www.forbes.com/markets/feeds/afx/2008/05/02/afx4962043.html

And yes, it richly deserves its vulgar nickname. 82.68.20.86 (talk) 15:52, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I know CityLink very well, as I work in the courier trade. However, without some verifiable citations to establish the subject's notability, this article reads like an entry in a blog, rather than an encyclopedia.
