[edit] HostelBookers.com

Reads like an advertisement to me. No google news hits other than their website's. -- lucasbfr talk 16:52, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment the site's Alexa rank is in the 17,000s, which isn't amazing, but is still pretty good. In addition, this AfD nom was created eight minutes after the article's creation, and without a contested prod. I think it would have been a better idea to prod the article first. -- Kicking222 17:02, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment Prod in the first 8 minutes? That would pretty much never work. Though, I think this is another reason to wait longer rather than a reason to skip prod. :) Mangojuicetalk 17:26, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Someone marked this with {db-spam}, which I removed. CSD A7 (as a non-notable corporation) might apply, but I'm not convinced this is a field full of non-notable agencies. Mangojuicetalk 17:26, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete under new CSD as corporate spam created by single purpose account. Bwithh 19:46, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment I AfD'ed because it seemed to me that was the sweetest way to deal with this article. I came across it on the New Pages. I always welcome comments on ways to improve my behavior ;). -- lucasbfr talk 21:00, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete eight minutes? I could tell this was advertispam eight SECONDS after I saw it. Stev0 19:37, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
