[edit] AfD Discussion
This is a restored article which has been tagged multiple times for db-spam. It is an advertisement. The previous discussion was rigged as rigged gets, with multiple new users voting whose only edits or history are this article AT THE TIME OF AfD DISCUSSION. Ultimately, the vote was 3-2 with all three of the "for" quite possibly being the same user. (User:LoneWriter even edited User:Measure's User Page as though the same person). The discussion also involves the owner/manager, who then admits information for the article was copied directly from Thriftbooks' website.
This is a non-notable topic written as an ad, not an article, and then kept by a rigged vote. It's time for this to go. --BizMgr (talk) 06:38, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
- If there is advertising, it is not blatant enough for speedy deletion. With the company having been covered in the Seattle Times, the article doesn't qualify for A7 either. Feel free to bring it to AFD again though. AecisBrievenbus 12:50, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
