[edit] Fight Celtic Affluenza

Fight Celtic Affluenza (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

This article has multiple serious issues, and should be deleted. To pick just two:

  • It fails WP:NN and WP:GROUP by a long margin. It has been flagged for some time for asserting no notability, and provides NEITHER primary nor secondary sources to support the notability of this "movement": a google search returns precisely ZERO results on primary sources (save for Wikipedia and mirrors), and there is also ZERO independent secondary coverage.
  • It fails WP:NOTMYSPACE and WP:WWPIN, as the page appears to be the ONLY manifestation of this "movement" online. The "article" is a thinly veiled use of Wikipedia as webspace to promote this "movement". There are serious problems with tone and content in this area. (For example the text states: "Anyone can participate by simply printing and distributing cards and stickers". While helpfully providing the stickers.)

Article also substantively fails WP:OR, WP:VER, WP:SPAM, WP:COI (creator is WP:SPA and likely promoter of this "movement") and myriad other guidelines. This page is such a blatantly bad candidate article that I considered flagging for speedy delete. However, given that it's been around for a while, it possibly requires confirmed consensus. Would however recommend a quick turnaround on AfD discussion. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Celtic Affluenza. Guliolopez (talk) 07:02, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete I live in Ireland and have watched the Celtic Tiger make a small minority rich while turning the country into a cesspool for everyone else. I have however never heard of "Fight Celtic Affluenza" movement outside this article. User:Gerrynobody (talk) 04:06, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
