[edit] Ruby's Fashions

Vanity article. Several Google searches found nothing about this Ruby Mau. Where is "Catdom"?

  • Delete Speedy delete based on patent nonsense and sock puppetry from the author. Gazpacho 06:49, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Do not delete. Ruby Mau isn't overly famous and isn't on Google yet. (the previous unsigned comment was made by 71.35.100.233, who incidentally is also the author of the article in question)
  • Until she is... speedy delete. Edwardian 07:04, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Catdom is a large country. Duh. Please do not delete this wonderful article about beloved Ruby Mau of Catdom. (the previous unsigned comment was made by 71.35.100.233, who incidentally is also the author of the article in question)
  • Don't delete, Ruby's great. (the previous unsigned comment was made by 71.35.100.233, who incidentally is also the author of the article in question)
  • Catdom is not exactly a country, or on maps. Do not delete. (the previous unsigned comment was made by 71.35.100.233, who incidentally is also the author of the article in question)
  • Don't delete, I love Ruby's Fashions! (the previous unsigned comment was made by 71.35.100.233, who incidentally is also the author of the article in question)
  • This is Shontom Mau, her sister. I am on Google. Typing Shontom in Images will show me, typing it normally will show my site Shontom's World. Do not delete my sister's article. (the previous unsigned comment was made by 71.35.100.233, who incidentally is also the author of the article in question)
  • I'm begging you, don't delete this! (the previous unsigned comment was made by 71.35.100.233, who incidentally is also the author of the article in question)
  • Delete as vanity article about business of dubious existence. - Pasiphae 07:12, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete page and a block for the user as well Ben Aveling 07:12, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, might very well be a hoax. (Left comment on user talk page to tell him to stop voting) --JoanneB 07:13, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
  • ONE: I didn't do all those, or create the article. I have a ton of friends over, including my sister who were commenting. TWO: It's not a freakingm hoax. I can't believe you'd even think that. Why would it be?
Let's see... it refers to a store in "Tacoma, WA, Catdom" run by "King Shontom's sister," who works for "Catdom Human Costumes, Inc" and likes fish treats? I know some furry roleplaying forums where people would really get into that, but it doesn't really sound like an encyclopedia article. - Pasiphae 07:38, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Sockpuppets, blatant who-gives-a-rip vanity and horrid, bloodcurdling ad cliches. Joy. Censure user, reset all Wikipedia servers and salt the earth. Or simply delete with the help of our friendly, professional staff! - Lucky 6.9 07:41, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete. Advertising, sock-puppet participation. *drew 08:43, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete the article, burn the socks. Average Earthman 09:00, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Research turns up several businesses named Ruby's Fashions. None of them satisfy the WP:CORP criteria, and the business that this article purports to describe isn't even one of them. The article cites no sources and is simply unverifiable. Delete. Uncle G 11:33, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Del per Uncle G. encephalon 16:28, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete per Uncle G and Pasiphae. --Metropolitan90 16:57, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Where to begin? Obvious hoax, so delete as unverifiable. I can't tell whether other voters are just being straight-faced, but based on the article itself and comments above, this is an article that purports to be by a cat, whose sister operates what is apparently a cat fashion boutique. Possibly a dead cat (per comment above, "My website, Shontom's World"). Does this rise to the level of BJAODN (bad jokes and other deleted nonsense?) Dpbsmith (talk) 18:47, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
Hm... That's a good idea. It is pretty amusing. - Pasiphae 23:54, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
