[edit] BZPowerCommunityWiki

I'm sure you think your site is great, but this really sounds like an advert. Lenev 01:46, 2005 May 1 (UTC)

• Delete. Advert for a non-notable website. Quale 02:01, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. It's all well and good for you to make a reference for your community. Just don't do it here. This is an encyclopedia. R Calvete 02:02, 2005 May 1 (UTC)
• Delete: Ugg, this should be speedied and I'll tell you why, if you look at the page the creator seems to go on and on about the site's forum, and then includes a ton of red links to very specific forum events (IE: 10,00 recognition post, April Fools Day Post etc.) my feeling is the author is trying to get members of his forum to post her and create these pages which would create a flood of VFD canidates. Cpuld we handle it? Yes but why not just delete the whole thing now so we don't have to deal with it. Deathawk 02:17, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
  • In cases like this, it's acceptable to put a "nowiki" tag at the beginning of the article. That way we avoid both the speedy and the horde of duplicate articles. Meelar (talk) 03:02, May 1, 2005 (UTC)
  • You say "author"... are you implying that this forum perhaps belongs to the person who added this article? If so, I think not. From what I've seen the BZPower community are a very professional and above-board group, and I cannot see that this is an officially-sanctioned action. Therefore if we are flooded with rubbish one of us could post about it on their forums, and leave the rest up to the people in charge. I'm sure they would leave their members in no doubt about the punishments for spamming WP. Master Thief Garrett 04:48, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, not notable, website promo. Megan1967 04:42, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. While BZPower is certainly worthy of inclusion in WP from what I've heard (they even get exclusive sneak peek pictures from The LEGO Company themselves!) I can't see keeping this *particular* article. Seems like someone's cut-n-pasted the non-meta Google search description (you know, where it lists all the links and such the page contains...)

• Delete. It's an advertisement, and a terrible quality one at that. Ben Babcock 18:03, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
