  • Well, I don't see any links even in the article, so I don't really get your reasoning, but nevertheless, this article is unnecessary, as we already have Net dating service. blankfaze | ?? | ?? 23:49, 28 Jun 2004 (UTC)
    • Try looking at the history. I deleted the Wikispam before posting this here. RickK 04:38, Jun 29, 2004 (UTC)
      • I thought policy was just to <nowiki> links... blankfaze | •• | •• 18:12, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)
        • I've never heard of such policy nor do I intend to follow it even if it were. RickK 19:03, Jun 29, 2004 (UTC)
          • It's in the instructions for listing pages at the bottom of the votes for deletion page. -- Graham ☺ | Talk 21:45, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. See above. DrachenFyre 23:57, 28 Jun 2004 (UTC) DrachenFyre
  • So redirect to Net dating service to stop this page coming back. Simple. -- Graham ☺ | Talk 23:58, 28 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Net dating service. Possibly ban user. Derrick Coetzee 00:21, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • Original article had links. I vote to delete and recreate as a redirect so it's gone from history too. --ssd 00:23, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete and redirect. cesarb 00:55, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)</nowiki>
  • Redirect or delete, regardless of who wrote it - Tεxτurε 22:02, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete and recreate as redirect. Andris 23:27, Jun 29, 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep, don't delete or redirect. The fact the it was created by a spammer is no reason to delete. Online dating is a phenomenon on the net, Net dating service is a service offered by websites. Please provide reasons why the page should be redirected, on the talk page. Jay 16:04, 2 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand. It looks like any advertising has been removed, and it doesn't belong in Net dating service, because surely using a third-party service is only one of multiple methods of online dating? BeakerK44 01:40, 3 Jul 2004 (UTC)
