[edit] Orthodontic Associates

Contested prod. User has put some effort into expanding this article but it's still not clear why this is distinct from the hundreds of other dental practices with this name. Used to be a short ad, and now it reads like a long ad. Opabinia regalis 00:31, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - you're right; it does read like an ad. - Richardcavell 01:20, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Richardcavell. Also lists non-notable people. --Tuspm^{(C | @)} 02:30, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Reads like and ad, the article uses "well known" to decribe the practice, and it is 100% cruft! Adam 1212 03:10, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete There is nothing about this article that is not blatant advertising. Wikipedia is not an advertising service. --Xrblsnggt 03:13, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy delete. Almost all content copied from: http://www.orthodonticassoc.com/doctors.html . Medtopic 06:14, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom - not notable. --Bigtop (tk|cb|em|ea) 17:38, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as insufficiently notable. Bucketsofg✐ 23:41, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, simple adcopy for a common dental/orth practice. With some resumes thrown in. Kuru ^talk 00:58, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete , it is both vanity and advertising. -Colonial One 15:46, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, no demonstrable claim to notability. Some medical practice groups may have real claims to notability (famous clients, writeups in national publications), but this one is nowhere near the bar. Sertrel 23:40, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
