[edit] Swedish auction

Swedish auction (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

The article describes a type of auction, invented by a Swedish real estate broker, see promotional material http://www.swedeauction.se (for example see here). The only active use of this type of auction appears to be via swedeauction.se. No reference shows that this type of auction is in active use in Sweden. No reference is given to some material in English. The only credible reference is to a Swedish handbook, where this method is described as a experimental method worth trying; Zacharias, Claude (2001). Some references are given to newspaper articles - probably created as a result of promotional efforts by the inventor.

• Comment - Admin help requested How similar is similar? If this is a virtual copy of the old article, this can be speedied under G4. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 19:45, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
• Delete quite promotional, and the sources don't help with verification. Note also that the Swedish article appears to be up for deletion (here) as well, assuming their amboxes follow the same color scheme and their AfD's follow roughly the same format.
