= Notice: This Article's Relevance Is Under Review =
<noinclude>
 
== Usage ==
This article has been flagged for '''questionable relevance'''. Its connection to the systemic consumer protection issues outlined in the [[Mission statement]] and [[Moderator Guidelines]] isn't clear. Articles that focus on isolated incidents, personal disputes, or local matters may not meet the inclusion criteria for the Consumer Action Taskforce Wiki.
Simply add <code><nowiki>{{Irrelevant}}</nowiki></code> at the top of an article whose connection to the wiki's mission is unclear.
 
{{Irrelevant}}
== Why This Article Is In Question ==
=== Parameters ===
Articles in this wiki have to meet the following criteria:
* <code>nocat=yes</code> — suppress automatic categorisation.
* '''Systemic Nature''': Demonstrate a broader pattern of systemic abuse, negligence, or policies that align with modern consumer exploitation (e.g., ownership revocation, barriers to repair, privacy violations, changing the terms of the sale after the sale).
* <code>clear=false</code> — don't insert a <code><nowiki>{{clear}}</nowiki></code> before the box.
* '''Relevance''': Relate to consumer protection issues that extend beyond individual grievances or localized problems.
=== Live preview ===
* '''Evidence''': Provide verifiable evidence or credible sources to support the author's claims and demonstrate systemic impact.

Examples of articles that do not meet these criteria:
<div style="margin-top:4px;">A moderator needs to check for consensus on relevancy before this notice can be removed. Visit the [[Consumer Rights Wiki talk:Moderators' noticeboard|noticeboard]] or the <code>#appeals</code> channel in either [https://zulip.consumerrights.wiki/ Zulip] or [https://discord.gg/8w5rSNAXRf Discord] to request removal. Discussions of this article's relevancy should take place on its [[{{TALKPAGENAME}}|talk page]].</div>
* A single negative customer experience; with no evidence of systemic issues or company policies enabling such behavior.
<div style="text-align:center; margin-top:0.3em;"><span class="mw-customtoggle-irrelevantmore" style="cursor:pointer; font-size:0.85em; font-weight:bold;">More info ▼</span></div>
* Localized disputes, such as a bad experience with a contractor or small business, better suited for platforms like Yelp or local consumer protection agencies.
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-irrelevantmore" style="margin-top:0.4em; padding-top:0.4em; border-top:1px solid rgba(144,60,116,0.2); font-size:0.9em;">
* Complaints that focus on personal dissatisfaction (e.g., "I waited too long for a response") without tying the issue to broader consumer exploitation themes.
You can help establish relevance by showing how the issue represents either large-scale consumer exploitation (systemic practices, recurring incidents, etc.) or a case of 'modern' consumer rights issues such as privacy violations, barriers to repair, or ownership rights, in line with the [[Mission statement]] and [[Moderator Guidelines]].
 
</div>
== How You Can Improve This Article ==
</div><includeonly>{{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE}}||{{#ifeq:{{{nocat|}}}|yes||[[Category:Articles marked as irrelevant]]}}}}</includeonly>
To justify the relevance of this article:
* Provide evidence demonstrating how the issue reflects broader consumer exploitation (e.g., systemic patterns, recurring incidents, or related company policies).
* Link the problem to modern forms of consumer protection concerns, such as privacy violations, barriers to repair, or ownership rights.
* Add credible sources or documentation that substantiate claims and connect them to systemic practices. i.e:
** A company that takes 5 days too long to refund a deposit is a bad Yelp review. Not eligible for inclusion.
** A company with 500,000 active repairs at any given time that purposely delays all deposit refunds for a period of five days, in order to invest/gamble with these deposits on their balance sheet, with verifiable hard proof from internal communications that this was an intentional & standard practice performed with malicious intent is eligible for inclusion.
