[edit] Remind4u
Advert-heavy promotional page about a greeting card supplier of no apparent encyclopedic significance. Anyone think maybe it should be deleted? Snacky 13:14, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
KEEP - The main significance is the way the greeting card market is starting to change with the new digital print technology and the internet. Remind4u uses both of these to allow Charity donations on any card to a charity you choose. That Charities logo is then dynamically printed on the back of the card. It is also a breakthrough for the Environment as a card is only printed when bought. The traditional market sends about 1/2 of the cards printed back through the system, with most of them getting destroyed. I think this should stay but with more information on the change of the market, environment, etc. Milesclee 13:27, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
- Comment - That's very exciting but nearly everything there is to say about it is already said in the Carol Vorderman article (summary: Remind4u is promoted by an attractive British gameshow host with a VERY high IQ), and it's even mentioned on the Greeting card page! That's about two more mentions than it'd probably get in any other encyclopedia. Note: I'm not complaining about those edits, just pointing out that it should be more than enough, no need for its own article. Especially as your article lacks NPOV anyhow...

- Second Comment - In your strident reaction to this deletion attempt, your newer edits are mostly making the WP:NPOV problem even worse. Suggest you stick to the relevant facts if you want to see the article survive.Snacky 13:50, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
KEEP- I have edited to hopefully satisfy requests... Milesclee 15:37, 21 August 2006 (UTC) you can not 'vote' more than once. --Brian (How am I doing?) 17:25, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
- Delete - I can't find any reliable sources, and the perponderance of the evidence suggests a notable violation of WP:VAIN and WP:SPAM. WilyD 13:34, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

- Delete Fails WP:V, smacks of WP:SPAM, does not follow WP:NPOV, and trips over WP:RS. Also does not meet WP:CORP. Now before you decide to edit the article again, or make another comment about the article, I suggest you review all the policies given here so you understand our arguement against the article...and give you a guide on how to correct this article. (If you really believe the article deserves to be kept, you would read the policies to know what is acceptable, expected and passable) --Brian (How am I doing?) 17:25, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
