  • Delete looks like advertising. --Candy-Panda 08:32, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom: no visible notability --BozMo talk 08:36, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as blatant spam, with no reliable sources provided. This is definitely the type of article that should normally be Speedy Deleted under G11, but the nominator chose the proper course of AfD'ing it due to the strong debate on the talk page. --AbsolutDan (talk) 12:12, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
By the time I had weathered so many personal attacks from 208.30.173.194, I was concerned I might be viewed as acting in bad faith if I requested speedy deletion. That's why I brought it to the wider community. --A. B. (talk) 17:58, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete spam. —Moondyne 13:02, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. The case laid out by User:A. B. at Talk:CarInsurance.com is persuasive. No-one has offered any reliable sources to show that this company is notable. The article, which reads like an advertising pitch, has also been discussed at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Spam. This is the type of article which normally could be speedy-deleted as spam, but in this case is being offered a full-length AfD debate. If the result is Deletion, I suggest that the name be salted due to the past re-creations. EdJohnston 14:04, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

    • Comment: this is the editor who added the PROD tag earlier this month.[1] --A. B. (talk) 17:53, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as spam: reads like advertising, and the forensic case made out at Talk:CarInsurance.com seems convincing. - Smerdis of Tlön 16:24, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment -- if this article is deleted, I will request the domain carinsurance.com be blacklisted; see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Spam#Outside opinions wanted: CarInsurance.com (January 2007) regarding linking problems with this domain. --A. B. (talk) 18:01, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
  • I'd normally go with a G11, but I'm deferring to the discussion here. Nonetheless, I vote for a Speedy Delete G11. --Dennisthe2 01:50, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete no substantive sources have been provided in the article to satisfy WP:WEB. Also, pretty clear spam, thus likely WP:CSD#G11 speedy deletion candidate.-- danntm T C 05:12, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
