[edit] Carmen Electra Aerobic Striptease

Article's creator is affiliated with the product/company and is spamming Wikipedia with this, other product articles, and product pictures. Crumbsucker 08:07, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

I am also nominating these related pages for spam from the same person:

• Paula Abdul Cardio Cheer.
• Envy Series

Delete all. Crumbsucker 08:18, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

• Comment Request Sasperilla provide free copies of DVDs to all WP users who request them (to better the article, natch), and userfy Carmen Electra herself to my house if she's willing. As for the article, I had actually seen the product advertised on TV and/or maybe one of the late night hosts showed clips and commented on it. It has gotten some coverage e.g. http://www.maxim-magazine.co.uk/maximgirls/covergirls/59/carmen_electra.html It is on IMDb. I wish there were a WP policy on movies/videos, in the absence of one, I'm not sure. At a minimum smerge to Carmen Electra, possibly keep. The Envy Series, at most smerge and redirect to Kara Monaco (not on IMDb, three ghits[1]). Esquizombi 10:50, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

• I second the motion and would be willing to review the DVDs for notability on behalf of Wikipedia. I am an admin, after all! I look forward to receiving them shortly. Thank you. --kingboyk 11:58, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

• Your devotion to duty is nothing short of remarkable, so I will remark on it (later). Also I will point out that while I'm not an admin, I too am willing to sacrifice my free time in this onerous review duty if it would help matters any. ++Lar: t/c 20:23, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. (Arundhati Bakshi (talk • contribs)) 11:28, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete all, advertising. "Uploaded by copywrite holder. www.cardiocheer.com" says Image:Carmen Wiki.jpg which I was of course checking only for technical reasons (cough). Smerge She is notable, of course, but the article doesn't have much going for it. A small section in her article ought to cover it. Wait, there's more? Delete the other two; cheerleaders are generally not notable, nor is a DVD by a Playmate. --kingboyk 11:58, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete all, advertising. Bhoeble 16:20, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete all as ad. --Terence Ong 16:26, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep (Electra only). Heavy publicized and reported, especially on TV talk shows, seems to be consistently high-selling (top 500) at Amazon, apparently notable commercial product. And Electra wasn't a Playmate, but a protege of Prince with a modestly but clearly notable career before her immodestly notable career. Notable trash remains notable. As for the other two, delete, salvaging a minimal Cardio mention for the Abdul article. Monicasdude 19:35, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• Until a more careful review of the evidence has been carried out in a darkened room, I'm going to have to go with merge though. The thrust of these articles seems to be to get a rise out of buyers. As another editor said, "a small section ought to cover it"... Keep the important bits, drop the naughty bits and update the star articles directly. Leave a redirect behind where it makes sense. ++Lar: t/c 20:23, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per terence ong --Khoikhoi 04:00, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Elektra and Abdul articles. Notable video series, widely available, by notable performers. If there's too much ad copy, be bold and revise it. No vote regarding Envy as I've never heard of it before. 23skidoo 04:30, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
• Merge the small percentage of non-advertising content of this page with the Carmen Electra article.
• Delete as ad. All content already in bio page. Ghosts&empties 09:55, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. This is an ad. --mmeinhart 23:47, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete all. All useful content is already in the bio pages. --Sam Blanning (formerly Malthusian) ( T | C | A ) 14:20, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep all as verifiable products from known personalities. -- JJay 14:31, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete all.--Hooperbloob 16:58, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
