[edit] Party Services

Delete - this article has been created in three different places. Not sure why (noobishness? advertising?). Maybe just keep one. Wickethewok 06:56, 18 March 2006 (UTC) The related articles are:

  • Keep at least one variation--this is a valid topic for an article. It's a (small) industry. Redirect the others to the kept version. Meelar (talk) 06:59, 18 March 2006 (UTC) P.S. Remove the linkspam--Meelar
  • redirect It's linkspam. Redirect to Party.
    • Comment - author keeps creating these articles. Maybe ban if this keeps up, will add articles as they are written... Wickethewok 07:00, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Redirect and merge content to Party --TBC??? ??? ??? 07:02, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete all What's not advertisement is so awfully written that I wouldn't wish it on any article. Redirect to Party, though. Sandstein 07:13, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Redirect all to Party. Feezo (Talk) 07:17, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete or revise Too much of an advertisement. The Ungovernable Force 08:29, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment - recommend IP-block for the creator of these articles. This user continues intentionally inserting their advertisements into other articles as well as creating these. Wickethewok 09:06, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and fix. Turn all but one (Party services) into redirects. Per Meelar, this is a valid article topic, and not just part of Party. The Party article should link to the Party services article, which should be about that industry. So, keep Party services, remove the link, possibly give the creator some sort of ban or discipline, rewrite it a bit (stub-ize it), and redirect all the variants. Bobby P. Smith Sr. Jr. 12:11, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep one, and turn the rest to redirects, per Mr. Smith. I'm afraid this is going to be one big, fat spam magnet, but it seems like a valid topic. Kuru talk 15:10, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete them all. You can't polish turds. Brian G. Crawford 15:16, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment I have heavily edited the Party service article so that it is NPOV, reads decently well, is formatted correctly, contains accurate and working links, and is less confusing overall. If this survives AfD (and, given that it is now a legitimate article about an existing industry, it really should), we can turn "Party services" and so on into redirects to the new Party service article.

The accompanying image is still an ad, but since it doesn't carry a company name and the external link has been removed, it's basically neutralized. The spelling error makes it rather unencyclopedic, however. Bobby P. Smith Sr. Jr. 15:58, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
What about the party service industry, though? Shouldn't we have an article about it? Bobby P. Smith Sr. Jr. 23:43, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge and Keep as appropriate per Bobby P. Smith Sr. Jr.'s rewrite Jcuk 23:19, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment - I've requested a block on this user, as he/she continues to insert advertisements into articles, even after final warning Wickethewok 23:42, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
Good idea. This is a bad-faith user who is repeatedly violating policy for (rather pathetic) personal gain. I hate that. Bobby P. Smith Sr. Jr. 23:47, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
His IP edits are done as 69.124.140.106 - has been blocked for a day as well. He's doing a lot of inline linking which is really annoying to clean up after other people have made edits to the rest of the page. Kuru talk 04:34, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
