Hand picked ___domain

This is an essay, and how-to. Article was nominated as a SPEEDY by another editor because it violated WP:NOT, however it was rightfully declined as that is not a WP:SPEEDY criterion. I PROD'ed the article as and essay and how-to which was endorsed with a PROD2 by another editor. Tags were removed with additional text added, but no quality improvements. The article remains an essay and how-to. Whpq (talk) 13:57, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. "Nearly unintelligible" waffle. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 14:26, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Strongest possible delete. Seems to promote the notion that you can Make Money Fast by speculating in ___domain names. Not only unencyclopedic, but also morally dubious. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:12, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Brutal Delete as original research, how-to, essay, non-encyclopedic guide for non-notable subject matter. Pharmboy (talk) 15:41, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Pharmboy. Somewhere in there is a how-to guide, original research, and unsourced claims all rolled into one big mess (though that might be putting it lightly). 1ForTheMoney (talk) 17:31, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Kill with fire and holy water, throw over cliff and set elephant upon Wikipedia is not a guide. If it actually told you more about what a hand-picked ___domain actually is, then I'd vote keep. --Gp75motorsports ^{REV LIMITER} 19:15, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and possibly start over This article is incredibly unclear and unreadable. --Kannie | talk 19:46, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete It's unintelligible. Gillyweed (talk) 00:20, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete poorly written, and WP is not a guide. Also original research. —BoL 00:22, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Article, talk, and user space only, BoL. Yes, you are violating your topic ban by posting here. I'll let an admin decide what to do about it. Equazcion •✗/C • 00:26, 17 Jan 2008 (UTC)
- Same for Gp75motorsports, actually. Equazcion •✗/C • 00:29, 17 Jan 2008 (UTC)
  - In case it should have any bearing on the outcome of the discussion, both of these users have been temp blocked because their comments here are in violation of a topic ban. Equazcion •✗/C • 00:52, 17 Jan 2008 (UTC)
  - Comment: In case I inadvertently caused trouble, when I nomninated this article, I had left a message on user:Gp75motorsports notifying him of this AFD as he was the edittor who placed the original Speedy, and I thought he might want to state an opinion in the AFD for the article.

Delete, and consider salting. It's an OR how-to guide. Majoreditor (talk) 03:34, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
