Template talk:Db-spam

I don't think that {{hangon}} is going to be all that useful on spam :) But no biggie. >Radiant< 23:35, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

- I'm uncomfortable with the language of "blatant, unsalvageable spam," since it sounds angry and confrontational. Yes, we need to be firm about dealing with people using Wikipedia to self-promote, but we should still WP:AGF, as some new editors may honestly be unaware that what they're doing is against Wikipedia policy, especially because of the recent article in the Wikipedia Signpost [1]. I recommend changing the language to, It is either blatant, unsalvageable spam for a person, group, company or association; or has been deemed to have no other apparent encyclopedic value than to promote some non-notable entity. We need to be able to be tough on these pages, without actively antagonizing some of the good faith people in the corporate world who made an honest mistake. --Elonka 00:28, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

- I just ran that off to expand the then-current "Blatant spam" reason. It's a new template and will likely get revised for a while untill stable. 68.39.174.238 23:43, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
