[edit] Body Modification Code of Ethics.pdf

Um, what? RickK 08:02, Feb 18, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete both the article and the referenced PDF file. WP is not a repository of ethics guidelines. jni 08:33, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Likely copyvio or advertisement to distribute this, but I think it could be reworked into Body modification. Suggest merge on Talk:Body modification, but delete if it's not used within a considerable amount of time. - Mgm|^(talk) 10:18, Feb 18, 2005 (UTC)
• Strong Delete. So many things wrong with this. For one thing, I don't believe that a list of good marketing tips, proper hygiene procedures, and restatements of general legal obligations constitutes a "Code of Ethics" (if it was actually a code, I'd suggest merge o body modification, but it's not). For another thing, I'm not sure I buy the "gpl" in combo with the copyright ... call me paranoid. Finally, the contents of the PDF file would have actually been easier to format as a wikified article, but for some reason it's a PDF. I could go on, but my grumpy pill is wearing off.

• Speedy delete under criterion 3 for Articles: "Any article whose contents consist only of an external link, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, or interwiki link." – flamurai (t) 17:43, Feb 18, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete the PDF for the reasons listed above. – flamurai (t) 00:14, Feb 20, 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: Speedy doesn't apply to uploaded pdf files as they aren't articles as defined by Wikipedia. Mgm|^(talk) 23:22, Feb 18, 2005 (UTC)
  • The speedy delete proposal was to the article, not to the pdf file. RickK 00:07, Feb 20, 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy delete this "article" since it is a mere link. Transwiki the actual .pdf to Wikisource. Rossami (talk) 06:12, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
