Proposed deletion[edit]

Or-Shalem has proposed to delete the article, based on the following complaint:

"This article aggressively leads with it being an Israeli company based in Te Acuv, when the sources don't explicitly mention Tel Aviv. A basic web crawling search doesn't reveal that the company is Israeli, and all the sources cited were created within the past few weeks, despite Moroccanoil having sponsored Eurovision got over four years. It comes across as very sketchy and politically driven to me, given the nature of Eurovision this year. Frankly, I don't think there are enough sources for this article and I don't think the sources that do exist are provide enough information to directly trace the company to Israel, since the company itself isn't making this claim."

I am removing the deletion notice, since:

Most Wikipedia pages begin with the nationality of the entity described. As such, it is not problematic that Israel is mentioned, given that is where the company is located (according to all sources available)
The date of the sources does not appear to violate any Wikipedia policy.
If anything in the article is politically biased, we should remove it. However, if anything, the political debates around Eurovision this year increase the notability of the subject, rather than suggest deleting the article.
The company itself may not have publicly claimed to be Israeli, but the co-founder has given several interviews that establish this fact, including on CNN. If you find any information that draws this into question, users can add it to the article.

I have expanded the article with sources clearly mentioning that the company is Israeli. In any case, the full legal name as stated on their website is self-evident. ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 20:22, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks, the article looks much better now!

Regarding the headquarters being in NY - is there any solid information on that? There are at least 2 different companies that are part of the business - Moroccanoil Inc., which is US based, and Moroccanoil Israel Ltd. Is there actually any source describing the relationship between them?

Yeah the info’s a bit scattered around but as far as I can tell Moroccanoil Inc. is the US subsidiary of Moroccanoil Israel Ltd. See the link above and here for instance. I will see if I can find more explicit sources in this regard. ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 09:38, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Found this document in German, Dutch and French among others (could not find in English) where it is explicitly stated that the parent company is Moroccanoil Israel, Ltd.: [1], [2], [3]. ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 12:02, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
