[edit] Site templates, Site template, Web site templates, Web site template, Website templates, Website template

Has the #1 litmus test for spam (first woird is a weblink), is littered with other weblinks to the same site, seeks to describe a generic term (which would be a dicdef) but is actually just promoting the spammer - damn, just look at the thing. Burn on sight. Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] (W) AfD? 21:53, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

    • oi, listed the other two he made as well. Hopefully I did the concatenation correctly to this page, can someone more experienced double check that I didn't leave orphans somewhere? --Syrthiss 22:36, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Another clue is replication: see also Site template, Web site templates, Web site template, from the same user (Special:Contributions/Dave_martin) Big_Iron 22:13, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
  • The article is an advertisement for the things that the external hyperlinks point to, plain and simple. If the article hadn't woven the external hyperlinks into sentences, this would indeed have been burnable on sight. There is absolutely nothing in this article that would be of use in writing an encyclopaedia article about site templates. I can almost hear Geogre saying that we don't need this advertisement lying around whilst we wait for a proper article to be written, too. ☺ I tried to do a rewrite about site templates, but (a) as far as site templates in the World Wide Web are concerned, what is actually written about them is totally obscured by the advertisements from the people who are selling/promoting them; and (b) after wading through all that I was too numbed to attempt an article about site templates in biochemistry. Unless rewritten, delete. Uncle G 22:17, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete with extreme prejudice per nom. -- Saikiri 22:35, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
