[edit] GovBenefits.gov

Created by user:GovBen who has only done edits relating to this article. Looks like a clear case of WP:SPAM and WP:COI. Also, I suggest, not particularly notable to users outside the US. -- RHaworth 22:56, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep. WP:COI is not a good rationale for deletion unless the article violates something else, which it does not. And there are many things on Wikipedia that are only of interest regionally, such as the many bands with no international recognition. -Amarkov babble 00:22, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, per Amarkov. hateless 00:40, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
  • LOL How obvious a self promotion can you get if your username has the same one as the article you make and it's the only one you edit. Delete. Anomo 03:12, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
Since when was self-promotion by itself rationale for deletion? -Amarkov babble 03:23, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
Comment Very often. See also WP:VAIN. Although one could ask Can the US government ever be thought vain as an entity? One requires no answer. ➨ ЯEDVERS 20:04, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
I don't see how it is. By the way, WP:VAIN is merged into COI now. -Amarkov babble 22:20, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Yes, it is probably a self-promotion. But the article looks like it is about a notable subject and could be expanded into a "normal" encyclopedic article. The article itself doesn't violate any of the criteria for deletion. --Tim4christ17 talk 02:24, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
