[edit] Online dating service clichés

Online dating service clichés (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Original research with no sources or references to verify any of the claims made in the article. The article also has numerous POV issues, as it doesn't explain how many times a line or photo has to be used in order for it to be considered a "cliché". TBCΦtalk? 00:49, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete - Entirely unverified, and leaves out, "Come to this website often?" ◄Zahakiel► 00:51, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as unsourced and NOT belonging here. Alex43223 T | C | E 00:56, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
  • DElete This article should be highly improved or deleted because of original reserch.--PrestonH(Review Me!) • (Sign Here!) 01:53, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Seems to be OR. Definitely subjective (what is a cliche?) and unencylopedic (just why?). WjBscribe 03:34, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
  • delete per above. /Blaxthos 09:47, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
  • 'Keep the above arguments about this being unsourced are wrong, because there is a source in the references section. Catchpole 10:48, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment - If you actually read the source, you'll realize that only 4 clichés are listed on that website, and there are 18 in the article. Where did all the others come from? The WP article is entirely original research, not even properly deriving the verifiable information from the single (and insufficient) source it provides. ◄Zahakiel► 14:31, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect/delete - maybe some of this content could be merged with an online dating service article... or have the external link/reference put into that article... then redirect/delete.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 13:26, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Pretty obvious OR. WJBscribe's comments are spot on. Pax:Vobiscum 18:07, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. ⇒ SWATJester On Belay! 18:37, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Inaproppriate article failing WP:NOT, seems like the article is just being used as a site for a future rude website (by the headings).Tellyaddict 19:01, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete as it appears to be a recreation of an already AFD'd List of cliches in personal ads (or something very similar to that title). I'll see if I can dig up the deletion log from last time. Cheers, Lankybugger 13:33, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
    • Alright, here's the previous AFD I mentioned. It's not created by the same author, so it's probably going to have to be a new AFD... but this is relevant due to the fact that the bulk of the text here appears to be exactly the same. Cheers, Lankybugger 13:36, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
