[edit] Costumes Galore

Costumes Galore (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) - (View log)

Non-notable company and the owner may be gaming the system since the external article he references says that is a major part of his activities. "He is constantly tweaking the sites to improve their rankings and make them easier for customers to find. A word here, a phrase there, strategic links everywhere—it all matters. “There are hundreds of things you can do,” he says. “How the sites are ranked changes all the time, and you have to be constantly changing your site to make it rank better.”" Pigmantalk • contribs 20:14, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Speedy Delete G11 (spam). So tagged. --Dennisthe2 22:18, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
  • I've declined the speedy, not because I disagree with deleting the article, but because I'd like a full AfD decision on this. -- Steel 00:31, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
Comment I also placed a "prod" on the page a few days ago and it was removed by an IP editor. I think it has to go to full AfD rather than speedy. --Pigmantalk • contribs 01:41, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Fair enough then. It's right on the line, IMO. FWIW, I question the need to "game" the system, but then again, for a devil's advocate, he is trying to market his wares. --Dennisthe2 22:46, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Appears to be SEO. -- Steel 00:31, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per above. Would have speedied as blatant spam except I will respect the decision of Steel. Stifle (talk) 22:08, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:SPAM and WP:COI. COntested prod does not mean it's not speediable. Created by Tomfallenstein. Nobody other than the owner would know what the 2006 sales figures are at this point, so would also fail WP:V. Ohconfucius 03:18, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
