[edit] Karl Scherer's Greatest Hits

This is a VfD concerning

  • Telephone (Zillions game)
  • Subway 4
  • Subway III
  • Subway II
  • Subway (Zillions game)
  • Oneway Loop
  • Loop (Zillions game)
  • Laser 4
  • Laser III
  • Laser (Zillions game)
  • Flim
  • Connect Dots (Zillions game)

Unbelievably, this is a yet another VfD concerning articles created by User:Karlscherer3 contribs, who uses IPs

They are advertising spam concerning Zillions Games.

Although the history includes many other editors, careful examination reveals that they mostly performed copyediting rather than adding content.

It should be noted that over 100 articles (about 200 including images) created by Karlscherer3 were deleted simultaneously in a single VfD, by a 90% majority (see Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Zillions games). There is also a current VfD at Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/MoreKarlScherer and Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/EvenMoreKarlScherer concerning an additional 10. The only reason this was not included amongst them was because I had failed to previously notice the IPs in use. ~~~~ 3 July 2005 14:19 (UTC)

  • Delete. Given the scope and result of the previous VfD on this stuff I would sort of think these could sort of be posthumously tacked on to that VfD and deleted outright. But since we're already here I guess we can do it this way. -R. fiend 9 July 2005 15:27 (UTC)
  • Delete, although some (not most) of Scherer's contributions unrelated to his own games should stay, his Zillions stuff (other than the Zillions of Games article itself, apparently) should go. Dcarrano July 9, 2005 17:57 (UTC)
  • Delete, Looks like a lot of spam. --Mysidia 9 July 2005 18:00 (UTC)

  • Delete - these products aren't notable enough to merit articles. I did vote Keep, though, on the seperate VfD for the article on the parent company. Tobycat 21:39, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Web clutter. These pages are just copies of pages already available at the Zillions of Games website, except without the graphics. They are not the sort of things anyone would search for in an online encyclopedia, and if anyone is seriously interested in what ZRFs Karl Scherer has written, he can easily find them at the Zillions of Games website or at Karl Scherer's own website, which are both listed in the external links of the Zillions of Games article. --Fergus 02:40, July 12, 2005 (UTC)
