[edit] Christos coin

Christos coin (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Article about a non-notable coin collection. Unreferenced and a linkspam magnet; similar in title to Christos Coins which was deleted in AfD and has since been salted. Article has had a bit of cleanup by a neutral editor, so it probably will not qualify as either spam or repost, but the problem with verifiability remains. <"Christos coins"> gets 51 Google results, but all are either trivial mentions, or Wikipedia and its mirrors. [1] Alternate names of these coins: <"Coins of Christ"> gets 9 hits, all of them passing mentions or Wikipedia itself [2]; <"Windows in the Wall of Life"> gets exactly one hit, and you know what it is.

  • Not this vanispamcruft all over again. Can't this stuff just be speedied? Delete on sight. Patstuarttalk·edits 19:30, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete. From what I can tell by looking at an archived Noticeboard discussion about this article, it was originally a fork of Christos Coins, and was then converted to a redirect. When Christos Coins was deleted via AfD, the redirect was deleted as well per CSD R1. This article was then recreated a few days later. I'm not an admin, so I can't compare this to the deleted article, but I'd guess that this could be speedied as a repost. WarpstarRider 01:27, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
