[edit] 247virtual
Based on this search, I'm not entirely sure whether it's more of a) Wiki is not a dictionary or b) WP:SPAM issues. Travellingcari (talk) 05:46, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
- Seems to be a dictionary or neologism issue to me. News searching and article searching tells me that this is simply a descriptive phrase rather than a topic for an encyclopedia article. As such, I suggest transwikiing to Wiktionary. --jonny-mt 06:28, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
- Delete as spam. I would agree with you if the name of the article was 24/7 Virtual The fact that the only link provided by the article points to a website called "247virtual.com" lends credence to the WP:SPAM argument -- RoninBK T C 07:35, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
- I don't disagree that the presence of the single link to a promotional website is...fishy, but given the lack of excessive marketspeak in the article I don't quite think it qualifies as blatant spam. I should probably clarify that any transwikiing should be done only after a cleanup and removal of the link. --jonny-mt 02:37, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

- Delete, no transwiki. A Google search for 247virtual reveals that most hits are related to a UK marketing company. There's absolutely no evidence this is a term in common usage. Zetawoof(ζ) 08:20, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
- Delete either toss it under WP:CSD#G11, blatant advertising (thinly veiled) or just delete as WP:NEO Yngvarr 10:24, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
- Delete per Zetawoof RogueNinjatalk 15:28, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
- Delete completely NN neologism and do not transfer this to Wiktionary, is not ever used, seems like spam.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 12:08, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
Commentit appears as if this move has already been done (including the link to the company's site) by bot rendering this discussion moot. I do agree with the others here that this wasn't really the best move since it doesn't appear to be a word in frequent use. Travellingcari (talk) 12:53, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
- So it has. I'm sorry; I wasn't aware that this was done automatically by a bot, or I wouldn't have tagged the article for transwiki. If consensus was to transwiki, I had certainly hoped to send them a better copy than that... --jonny-mt 13:40, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

- *Response I'm not sure what undo protocol is when it comes to undoing bot moves to another Wiki and I don't work on Wiktionary at all. Perhaps someone else will suggest what, if anything, needs to be done. I think we all have our oopses in life. Travellingcari (talk) 15:00, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
- Comment. I removed the copy to Wiktionary tag, because it's pure spam for a non-notable website and doesn't belong as a word in a dictionary.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 16:11, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- Response Per Talk:247virtual, it's already gone and appears to be listed there. Travellingcari (talk) 16:17, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- Well, the editors of Wiktionary aren't stupid. It's not in their mainspace yet and I'm sure someone'll root it out. The only Wikimedia project I participate in though is the English Wikipedia, because I don't want to complicate things too much.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 16:29, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- Same I just meant that it was too late to undo the tag as the move had been accomplished. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Travellingcari (talk • contribs) 19:04, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- It's apparently not moot at the moment, because we still have a page here on Wikipedia to deal with. With all due respect, the fork on Wiktionary is Wiktionary's problem now. -- RoninBK T C 09:15, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
