[edit] Bourdela.com

Article was nominated for speedy deletion for a lack of context, but that doesn't apply. The notability of this site is asserted, but not (yet?) referenced. It is pov, promotional, but too soft for spam. Basically, none of the speedy tags apply for this article, so I'm moving this to AfD instead. No opinion.

Further information: the site has a global Alexa ranking of 17,020 and a Greek Alexa ranking of 73. Aecis ^{Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984.} 15:34, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

This article was not created to promote the website. I do not have a reason to create a english-language article to promote a greek website. Please do not delete this article. My intentions are to provide a entry about this website to Wikipedia for informational purposes.

The text of the article will be soon updated with more info about paid-sex and information on whore-houses from the ancient times of Greece. Alex —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sectoras (talk • contribs)

• Delete as it is now - The above poster pretty much states my reasons for deletion. Why would somebody browsing english Wikipedia need info about a Greek website? If the above poster manages to provide significant content and sources to remove the seeming commercial tone I'll reconsider. -bobby 15:39, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Ok, should I add this in the Greek wikipedia?

Also, the website has also international visitors (people who are looking for information in Greece). Also, I have seen tons of other english-language articles, about greek websites/celebrities/people. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sectoras (talk • contribs)

• • Reply - I think based on the top-100 that this article would surely be relevant to the Greek language Wikipedia. Could you cite some of these other sites you mention so I can do some comparisons? Your Alexa rank in the top 20K is certainly not something to be taken lightly, so if you can provide me with a good argument as to why this article should stay, I'll gladly support you. -bobby 16:10, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

I think that you should keep the article in order to provide informantion and link source as a guide to paid sex services and, of course, as a complete walkthrough to greek adult life style and market. (Kostas) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sectoras (talk • contribs)

As above stated from Kostas, this website provides a general walk-through to the visitors coming to Greece. We have seen tons of people visiting the website to find information about Greece. It Wikipedia's purpose is to have useful information, then i think this article is directly related.

Other than that, i will be soon updating this article and provide *complete* information about one of the world's earliers profession (prostitutes), and how that influenced ancient Greece and their people. bourdela.com is the ONLY website related to that. You mentioned some other websites, but i did not understand, please explain. Thanx. Sectoras 16:21, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

• Comment - I must say that engaging in sock puppetry does not lend creedence to your argument. All it tells me is that your article is not strong enough to garner support from anyone other than its creator. Please do not attempt to misrepresent yourself in the future. Thanks. -bobby 16:33, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

This is inaccurate. This comment WAS made by another person, who did not know how to post a comment in here and did post his comment on the bourdela.com article, i just did a copy/paste to include his commment in this history. Sectoras 16:56, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Please be serious - there is an edit history so it's clear who posted what -and you have signed you replies on this page in four different ways. You are not being honest.

Revision as of 2006-11-03T12:15:43 - you add the word comments signed (Kostas) Revision as of 2006-11-03T12:21:52 - you add (copy-paste)

I have since amended them to clarify your posts

• Comment - Perhaps I did not assume good faith Sectoras and for that I apologize. It just seemed a bit suspicious to me since you made the edits at two seperate times and neglected to mention why Kostas did not post his or her own reply. That matter aside, Kosta's comment states that the article should be kept as a link/guide to sex in Greece. I will remind him/her and you that Wikipedia is not a directory and also that advertising on Wikipedia is grounds for speedy deletion. Please state your justifications with these guidleines in mind. -bobby 17:07, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Smells of spam. Unsourced, unverifiable. EVula 20:11, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete mainly since the target site is not of much use unless you speak Greek, unless you just want to peruse the images there, and Wiki is not a directory of titillating pictures. On top of that it's probably spam. --ArmadilloFromHell 20:28, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
