[edit] Online opticians

Delete Crystal-ball-esque advertisement for a number of online spectacle and sunglasses sales websites, masquerading as an article. Anilocra 09:21, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Delete Hasn't happened yet. Is ad for linked sites. Question: Do you have to pay for an eye examination by an optician in the US? Mgm|^(talk) 10:14, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC)
  • Yes, you do. —msh210 16:31, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Actually, you pay for an examination from an optometrist; an optician only dispenses glasses, although there are some offices which do both. —Wahoofive | Talk 17:53, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Quite right, sorry. My point, though, was that one pays, which, I think, is what Mgm was asking. —msh210 18:11, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Del. Perfectly valid article (not advertisment) imo, but utterly unencyclopedic. Shall we have articles online hardware stores, et al.? —msh210 16:31, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Agree w/msh210. Edwardian 07:58, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
