"Buy" listings[edit]

Asko Huonekalut is described as "Furniture store with a large selection. Specializes on office furniture." I was tempted to revert the listing on the basis that people on vacation normally don't buy office furniture; however, if this is a really famous store where people from the region would take a day trip to for office furniture, maybe the listing can stay. Keeping in mind the goals and non-goals of Wikivoyage, what do you think? Ikan Kekek (talk) 15:32, 2 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

Is this listing a joke? :D This is the fishiest listing I've seen and I'm going to remove it. Firstly, Mannerheimintie 8 is in central Helsinki, so it would make no sense listing it in the northern suburbs. Also you won't find any furniture store there. The coordinates they've put in our map aren't correct either, they point at a location one block away. Secondly, this company seems to be catering to businesses only, not individuals and their home page really goes on for pages and pages without saying anything or providing any details "we have good shelves and even better chairs...". Thirdly, there is a major furniture chain in Finland named Asko but it's an entirely different company. Finally, the map at the bottom of their web site has the place marked at the same incorrect location and it is labeled "Isku", the real name of yet another furniture chain.
