[edit] Help me buy my hummer

Was tagged for speedy deletion by Misza13 as spam, but it's not really. Article is about some guy's web site selling ad space so he can buy a Hummer (which would plastered with those ads). I hate to break it to him, but it's already been done. Anyway, brought it to AfD to respect Misza13's desire to see it gone. howcheng {chat} 23:11, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Copied from Talk:Help me buy my hummer: This page is being reported by Various media outlets here in Australia. This morning i have done 3 new paper interviews and a pre recorded radio interview. It is fast picking up pace online with already dozens of emails coming through with support and enquiries on the project. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Seascape (talk • contribs) (creator of article) 22:54, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Which newspapers and which radio? Nothing in Google news at this stage. Delete--Porturology 00:46, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, nn website, no alexa rank, no traffic data. Zero Google hits for "help me buy my hummer" or helpmebuymyhummer. Zero hits on Google news (which includes Australian newspapers) for either spelling. Use of first person in talk page note makes it clear this is unadulterated advertising.

  • Delete almost spam. --Snakes 23:17, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, per Zoe. As noted above, the author of the article says he's the beggar, so I do think this is outright spam of a particularly rancid variety. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 23:20, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete fails the WP:WEB hurdles.(edit conflicted by Finlay) --Alf melmac 23:21, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Non-notable. If this should be referenced anywhere, it should be as a footnote to the Million Dollar Homepage; the idea has been done to death. -- (aeropagitica)  23:23, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete : as per above, this is an ad, not legitimate information, plus it is by definition temporary, since the site will close when the man has its money, and unlike articles with previsible deadline, it will not become a historical even worthy of its own article. --Svartalf 23:32, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete this along with all other spam. Ifnord 23:35, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per above. WP:NOT a place to get someone money for his car (it might not say that specifically, but I'm pretty sure it's in the spirit of the policy). - Bobet 23:43, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as non-notable imitation of Milliondollarhomepage, of which there are way too many too mention. —Quarl (talk) 2006-01-05 04:03Z

  • Poor Editing That's my vote. Delete, put in another article or not, it's poorly edited. Very poorly edited. I'd err on the side of delete, but I also think we should explain to the author how to edit so they don't make the mistake the next time. I've had others have to teach me things and it has helped.

  • Speedy delete as vanity, spam and copyvio from the website. (So close to making Wikipedia:Vanispamcruftisement...) pfctdayelise 05:46, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. If it were an article about this phenomena in general, it might be worth something, but as it stands its just advertising. An An 06:22, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
