Question: I followed this example Fotki - are articles about web portal considered an advertisement? --WalterJKin 23:38, 1 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, Fotki has over 2 million hits on Google [1]. "DoubleSign Astrology" has ~600 [2]. There is a serious difference in notability between these two sites. The tone of the article ads nothing but basic information about the site, reads like a low-key advertisement and doesn't demonstrate its particular notablity over any other astrology site. Statements such as
- The website is popular among users due to cool images of both Chinese and Western Zodiac Signs, as well as DoubleSigns, daily, bi-weekly and yearly horoscopes (Chinese and Western), descriptions of Zodiac Signs from different point of view, including books, celebrities, love and sex; and Are You Compatible? Calcluator.
- are intrinsically promotional. Since you appear to be the creator of the site in question, it is a violation of Wikipedia policy to be creating articles about it [3]. My vote remains at Delete. Cheers --PhilipO 23:47, 1 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, advertising, as is DoubleSign Astrology. User:Zoe|(talk) 23:43, 1 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I would like to replace this entire article about a web portal, with one the describes DoubleSign as astrological term, its meaning and application from astrological point of view. I tried to it yesterday, but the old article (about the portal) was restored.
- I restored it because you removed the AFD (Articles for deletion) tag at the top of the page. You will need to re-edit this article without removing this tag. Cheers --PhilipO 15:57, 4 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
