[edit] Prays

Vanity article writen by one person [1] who only edits articles related to the band and who most likely is in the band. The same editor was the author of the band members and Prays albums wikipedia pages also up for deletion. As stated on the "singer's" page (Adam Woeger-- up for deletion), he is using the internet as a promotional tool. Well, it looks as if Wikipedia is a part of it. A google search of "Adam Woeger" brings up less than 900 hits (including internet newsgroups and chatting). The other band member Paul Guffey (up for deletion) is even less notable. The page forks to promote individual albums In The Garden (Prays), Where He Leads Me, Living For Jesus, Very Christmas, Only Believe, Spontaneous Worship, In Your Presence, and Worship sampler (all up for deletion). Every single edit that adds information is the same person on every page linked here. Even the Category "Prays albums" is created by that person. This is pure vanity and self-promotion. A google search ("Adam Woeger" prays) brings up 150 hits. Arbustoo 21:56, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Speedy delete per Arbustoo. At the least, it doesn't do a very good job of asserting the notability, which is suspect in itself. --Kinu 02:46, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
