[edit] Kushcash, Mwallet, M-Wallet

Prod'ed and de-prod'ed, so let the community decide. Looks like spam for new product. Basically the same ad under multiple names. -- Fan-1967 19:05, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete all per WP:SPAM. Plus, I'm pretty sure that M-Wallet is a registered trademark of Motorola. VoiceOfReason 19:09, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, spam. Naconkantari 19:18, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete all per VOR and as per WP:VAIN ST47 23:35, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete all as above. wikipediatrix 00:14, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Delete Found this [1]. They seem to be a start up; its dated July 24th. They've got a chance, but all the news about them I can find is self-generated PR news. WP:CORP needs multiple reliable sources. Best to delete now(esspecially given the spammy nature of this) since wikipedia's not a cyrstal ball to future possiblity of this company warrenting an article.

• In a note to the author, I offered the opinion that this may be comparable to VOIP. It's a new technology, with a lot of people jumping into it (or announcing plans to do so) but nobody seems to be leading the charge and dominating it, or even dominating the press on it. Wouldn't surprise me if I'm paying for my groceries with my cell phone in five years, but I have no idea what company will be managing that transaction. Fan-1967 03:30, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

• Yeah except VOIP is a type of service whereas this is an actual product. Its as Vonage is to VOIP, Kushcash is to ?. There is no comparator, which makes me lean more toward delete. Kevin_b_er 04:07, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

• That's part of the problem. There isn't even a good term for it yet. Compared to VOIP, it's an immature technology, not even out there yet. These articles call it "Secure Wireless Transfers" but it's going to need a better name than that. Definitely not ready for prime time yet, and the people selling it are not yet notable.

• Delete all. Even if the technology is significant, the company isn't yet (there are other companies working on this type of thing); WP:ADS applies here. ColourBurst 15:31, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep The funny thing about KushCash and the reason I believe that they should stay in Wikipedia, is that they managed to develop this system in what would be considered light speed (8 months) furthermore as per some information I am getting through the CMO council they have already reached massive numbers for a new tehcnology with rather high learning curve. They are currenlty teaming up with both Boost Mobile, Amp'd mobile and Virgin Mobile in the US. They also just hired Frank Angrissani as CEO (former Sr. VP of Western Union, and Peter Hewitt former GM of Leapfrog, and funny enough former interim CEO and VP of Communications of DialPad (first VOIP company to reach 10 mil users. They are also teaming up with Qualcomm for R&D. I honestly think that they have a real chance of becoming great. I saw them at the US open in California, and I tell you guys, this company is not a one hit wonder.Dorff
