[edit] User:209.209.140.19

clearly a ip from an advertising company, as listed on userpage, should be blocked to at least require spammers to register a name DUBJAY04 06:31, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

• Comment. In case you're purposing to block the IP, please refer to WP:AIV. However, I'm concerned this IP will not be blocked as he received a final warning quite a while ago. Note that blocks should not be used as a punitive measure. Michaelas10 (Talk) 14:17, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy delete This IP is most probably going to be used for spam and creation of irrelevant articles, if it's owned by a company then it may violate NPOV because it's owned by a company who may be contributig to articles about themselves.Tellyaddict^{Editor review!} 17:09, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

• Eh, speedy delete an IP? Is that possible? Michaelas10 (Talk) 17:59, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

For the record, the notice on the page is totally innocuous; all it says is that the IP is owned by an advertising company using a certain IP. It in no way promotes or SPAMs themselves or anything. It's no different from {{sharedip}}. The nominator reason also makes me strongly suspicious that this should be on ANI/AIV. Also note that deleting an IP addresses user/talk page in no way affects their ability to edit. 68.39.174.238 19:54, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

• FFS just blank the damn page (now done) and be done with it. Speedy close this waste of time--Doc^g 22:46, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

doc g- I don't believe its fair to simply blank User:209.209.140.19 and not set forth the issue that this is an advertising company. Maybe i took it to the wrong place, but blanking it is not the solution. DUBJAY04 22:53, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Why? Who cares? Are we doing this to "punish" someone? Doc is right, this is a waste of time, blank it and be done with it. -- Ned Scott 01:05, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
