- Delete Vanity page; not notable.--Anthony.bradbury 22:59, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Please also note that it is considered rude to say vanity now; the correct term is conflict of interest. Cbrown1023 23:14, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

- Comment My apologies. Vanity is perjoritive now? That's just silly. L0b0t 23:20, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
- The main problem is it's often misleading. Often articles are created by a friend, family member, associate or employee, not the subject themselves. "Conflict of interest" is a more generic term that applies anytime the article is created by someone with a personal interest. Fan-1967 23:23, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
- On the other hand, vanity implies something about the value of the article itself, whereas conflict of interest merely strongly disapproves of certain user behaviors. A COI article may be rehabbed with NPOV, but a vanity article is usually unsalvageable because of notability failures. Nor do I think "vanity" is yet "rude" although it somewhat trips WP:BITE. Anyway, delete. --Dhartung | Talk 07:40, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

- Either expand (to establish notability) or delete. [[Briguy52748 20:30, 29 November 2006 (UTC)]]
