[edit] EasyPizza

Nomination Withdrawn per Kevin_b_er's discovery of a notable company operating under the same name as the SEO-pushing site, and because of the complete article rewrite. lowercase 04:16, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Delete. On its face, this is a clar delete as there is no direct claim of meeting WP:CORP. What bothers me more, however, is this article seems to exist not to advertise a pizza chain but to support a SEO campaign. Follow either of the two links in this article. Except for the front page, the bottom of every page on these websites are loaded with hidden text links to many different sites. Notably, in large print are links to eminicabs.co.uk and etaxis.co.uk, similar sites which are being linkspammed on Wikipedia presently, at Minicab and other places. lowercase 17:50, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Odd, because Kevin_b_er points to a legitimate news article about this company, and yet the page linked to is still blatant SEO. lowercase 06:57, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

I misunderstood Kevin_b_er's comments. http://www.easypizza.com is legitimate, while http://www.easypizza.co.uk is part of the SEO campaign. I think this might be a keep after serious cleanup. lowercase 07:00, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

KEEP Listen i dont understand what your problem is, is Wikipedia some kind of mafia? EasyPizza is a company registered in the Uk which has 3 branches, an address, a phone, a website, customers, workers, pays tax, vat and has every right to be listed in Wikipedia. If you delete easypizza i will ask for all the other similar pizza companies Wiki pages to also be deleted and possibly other restaurants and if Wikipedia is fair they either delete all company pages or they leave them all in. What you say about SEO is again unfair. Your page easygroup has nothing but SEO links and company propaganda as simply one example, i will demand that if our company page is deleted on the basis of only backlinks just to our homepage then all your pages that have dozens of back links must also be removed. You really have to play fair. Wikipedia is the online information open source not simply a SEO site of a few businesses promoting themselves. So please play fair give us a level playing field. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 212.100.250.215 (talk • contribs) 03:36, June 3, 2006 (UTC)[1]and modified by User:Politakis[2]

KEEP Again lowercase seems to have written a load of anti minicab propaganda. minicabs employ over 100,000 people in london alone and you deleted everything i posted while i was posting it. What is your problem again am i not allowed to post an un biased page telling people what a minicab is? And saying that a minicab is a form of transport etc. i really cannot see why your article can stay and mine gets deleted? i invite anyone to read my uniased minicab page and your anti minicab page and decide which shold stay —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Politakis (talk • contribs) 03:44, June 3, 2006 (UTC)[3]

• Delete, possibly speedy as G3 (spam is vandalism per Wikipedia:Vandalism). I confirm the hidden text - it isn't even well hidden. It has an assertion of notability, so that can't be the basis. GRBerry 01:48, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Keep Delete Well dang, this is wierd. While on one hand there's a CNN money article on this group, [4], the .co.uk listed at the website is pure search engine spam, if I ever saw it. Try to find the hidden terms link at the bottom of the page, and see all the spam. Sites related to http://easycruise.com are most certainly real, and information on them should be kept, including the article on EasyPizza. Needs clean up though, and deleting of that easypizza.co.uk link. The whole article is spam for a company going by the same name as EasyPizza.com, which is what I find on seaches and research for this company. ex. [5]. Whole thing needs to be wiped clean and info about the notable version of this company needs to be put in. Kevin_b_er 05:42, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

The above comment was fixed up even better now, I hope... If this article is deleted, then it should not be protected. I'm all for seeing an article go up in its place about the company represented at easypizza.com, not the company that seems to be dedicated to boosting its searching engine ranking which the article is currently written about.

Comment Thanks to Kevin_b_er's investigation and discovery, I have tried my hand at a reasonable replacement for the current EasyPizza article. It can be viewed at Talk:EasyPizza/Temp. If the concensus is that this is a reasonable replacement for the contents, I will withdraw my AfD nomination. Concerns about this potential replacement probably belong at Talk:EasyPizza, not here. lowercase 08:10, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

• Keep and replace by lowercase's temp version. Apparently notable business, see other media mention here. Sandstein 11:07, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
