[edit] The Team (QMO)

This article has been deleted once before for failing to meet WP:CORP. Notability was never established and consensus was overwhelmingly delete. Gallwapa 11:02, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Do Not Delete. I believe it is helpful to show criticism of The Team on Wikipedia. People should see both sides of this issue.
MarcoTolo - please be specific as to why this article is WP:VSCA. Of the 4 VSCA options, which one(s) and why? (BTW - I am the original author) An honest quixtar ibo 21:20, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Okay. For clarity: VSCA = shorthand for Vanity + Spam + Cruft + Advertisement.
Vanity: As far as I can tell, all sixty of your edits (all in the past week) relate to QMO. This is more than a little suspicious, especially since your username seems directly associated with the product. See WP:VAIN.
Spam & Advertisement: I visited several of the other pages you've added and they all appear to be pushing a Multi-level marketing scheme - thus, "advert". See [Wikipedia:Spam]
Cruft:"Content [that] is of importance only to a small population of enthusiastic fans of the subject in question." See WP:CRUFT.
Bottom line: is it encyclopedic? My view: absolutely not.-- MarcoTolo 22:10, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Strong Delete Obvious advertising for those who make money off Amway suckers representatives. Fan1967 22:46, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete. There is, and has been, an onslaught of advertisement, spam, and other assorted cruft coming from and-or concerning Amway/Quixtar/IBOs/Motivational Organizations etc. This article is a good example. Anything on Wikipedia concerning Am/Quix etc. should be viewed with extreme suspicion. Delete this article and be vigilant for others like it. Paul 00:48, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - Previous vote was for delete, so its time to go. I suggest information be incorperated into The Quixtar Wiki or the Quixtar article. Quixtar discussion even has a proposed rewrite to change the article that no one has commented on. Gallwapa 02:44, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
