**This is exactly why I nominated it as an AfD. As-is, it's a directory of external links. If the links were changed to internal links, and each item received some descriptive info, it would reverse my opinion of the article. ++[[User:Arx Fortis|Arx Fortis]] ([[User talk:Arx Fortis|talk]]) 20:32, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

*'''Keep''' per JeremyMcCracken, this article is pretty dubious at the moment but I am happy to assume good faith for now and allow the author to expand it. It certainly is a topic that could be encyclopedic. ~ [[User:Mazca|'''m'''a'''z'''c'''a''']] ^{[[User_talk:Mazca|''t''a''l''k]]} 20:08, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

*'''Keep''' as per JeremyMcCracken. the article brand new, so let's assume good faith and give the man some time to work before we start judging the article. constructive criticism or correcting mistakes yourself will improve things far more than "OMG! a policy violation! must delete immediately!". [[User:Grandmartin11|Grandmartin11]] ([[User talk:Grandmartin11|talk]]) 22:24, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

**Grandmartin11, I ask that you don't assume tone or intent and not read anything into my nomination other than what it states. Your comment implies an alarmist tone and approaches a personal attack. AfD is not a "must delete immediately" situation. There is a completely separate ''speedy delete'' process for that. AfD is a ''process'', not an automatic deletion. Dialog before decision is exactly why the AfD process is in place: to discuss the article's merits and drawbacks before a decision is made. ++[[User:Arx Fortis|Arx Fortis]] ([[User talk:Arx Fortis|talk]]) 00:43, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

***nominating an article for deletion not even an hour after it was created just seems rather alarmist to me (though i wasn't intending to imply this is an attack) and IMO, flies almost directly in the face of [[WP:GOODFAITH]]. [[User:Grandmartin11|Grandmartin11]] ([[User talk:Grandmartin11|talk]]) 15:56, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

****Regardless of the timing, the ''content'' warrants an AfD nomination per the two policy links I provided. The author is clearly building a page of external links (20+), rather than links to other Wikipedia pages. This is not so much a "work in progress", but rather a work going in a completely wrong direction. ++[[User:Arx Fortis|Arx Fortis]] ([[User talk:Arx Fortis|talk]]) 00:40, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

*'''Delete'''. Whether or not the nomination was premature, the article as it currently stands seems to be little more than a [[WP:NOT#LINK|link farm]] for a number of [[WP:WEB|non-notable]] [[WP:SPAM|commercial]] websites. - [[User:Ihcoyc|Smerdis of Tlön]] ([[User talk:Ihcoyc|talk]]) 15:59, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

:: If I remove the all external links, will there be any need to delete the page --[[User:Narendra Sisodiya|Narendra Sisodiya]] ([[User talk:Narendra Sisodiya|talk]]) 23:22, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

::: [[WP:N|Notability]] needs to be demonstrated for the articles included. See if you can find some other links that demonstrate the notability of these (mentions in magazine/news articles would be great).

* '''Keep''' I think the subject matter should be kept, but not the format that the content is currently being presented. I think this should be converted to list form, instead of how it is now, which is basically a list of external links. <span style="font-size: 1.1em;">[[User:Gary King|<span style="color:#02e;">Gary</span>&nbsp;<b style="color:#02b;"><i style="font-size:large;">K</i>ing</b>]]&nbsp;<span style="font-size:small;">([[User talk:Gary King|<span style="color:#02e;">talk</span>]])</span></span> 20:12, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

* I have made changes now, externals links is converted to internal red links, see guide me now -- [[User:Narendra Sisodiya|Narendra Sisodiya]] ([[User talk:Narendra Sisodiya|talk]]) 09:33, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
