Expression engine

Wikispam. The PMachines website looks impressive, there are 90000-odd Google hits on "ExpressionEngine," they look legitimate, I think it's a real product... but this article is still wikispam. Dpbsmith 01:33, 24 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: I'm on the fence about this one. Yeah, it's an advert, but the product very well may be encyclopædic. Can't figure out how to vote on this one. blankfaze | &#9835 02:04, 24 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - advert - Tεxτurε 03:37, 24 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Article contains no reason to think this is encyclopedic, it's just a sales blurb. Andrewa 03:57, 24 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Comment: it absolutely is not an advert. I'm a user on said application, and upon finding very little information on it around the internet, I added it to the wikipedia. please note that there is also a movable type entry, which is not considered spam. is this simply because MT is a free product? Juusan 08:57, 24 May 2004
  • Looks fairly notable, comparison to Movable Type seems reasonable. I think this article could be salvaged. No vote at this time. -- Cyrius|✎ 06:47, May 24, 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Could need some work, but doesn't smell like a sales pitch to me (quite opposite actually). Abigail 11:28, May 24, 2004 (UTC)
  • Lean towards delete. If you start excluding unrelated products, the 90K starts dropping rapidly; "Expression Engine" -regular -advantage -tales is down to 15K. Movable Type, on the otherhand, get4 MILLION hits. I am fairly anti-Borg, and in a forum where NPOV doesn't matter, would shamelesly plug alternatives. However, this is a self-admittedly new product, whose currency in the marketplace seems yet unproved. I guess I see the question as being, does WP want to be leading edge, or bleeding edge.

  • Delete. Not clear why it is encyclopedic. Andris 05:17, May 25, 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete: advert for a nonnotable product. Wile E. Heresiarch 20:24, 25 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
  • What makes this product notable? At the moment, delete. Average Earthman 11:23, 26 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Kimberley Katherine Smith

Do we really need this G-Man 00:32, 23 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, I think. Move to Kim Smith, I think, see rambling below. Article needs work, much too promotional. No, we don't really need it, but I don't think we need to delete it. My first reaction was that this was some rank amateur who couldn't afford the webspace for a resume, but I don't think that's true. Under the name "Kim Kay Smith" she does show up as a model of apparently some note. We need to figure out which is http://www.webwombat.com.au/lifestyle/fashion_beauty/smith.htm , an Australian site, has a non-sock-puppety article praising her as the next IT girl. She's been on the cover of Maxim, as documented on the not-its-own-domain fan site http://members.fortunecity.com/internet41/bio.html , several other magazines, assuming the magazine covers haven't been faked/Photoshopped and I don't think they are. Both sites say she (was) in the Victoria's Secret catalog, circa 2001. Whoa! "Kim Smith" Maxim yields a bunch of hits. 44,000 and most of them seem to be to her. The word "supermodel" seems to be being thrown around quite a bit. No, I'm not influenced at all by the fact that I find her pictures very attractive, no sir. Well, maybe just a little influenced. Oh, by the way, she's no relation. Dpbsmith 03:19, 23 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
  • Come ON! She wears a SIZE 9 SHOE. She was born in HOUSTON! She got plastered at a model search. How much more notable can you become? Well, she's not Becky Owen (nobody could ever ever ever be Becky (sob)) but she's OUR Kimmy. Delete. Denni 04:28, 2004 May 23 (UTC)
    • Dwindrim, you're starting to make me nervous.  :) RickK 04:32, 23 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
      • You're safe, RickK. Wrong gender. And probably wrong shoe size too :p Denni 05:06, 2004 May 23 (UTC)
        • Never have I been so glad to be male and wear size 14s. -- Cyrius|&#9998 07:38, May 23, 2004 (UTC)

I added the VfD header. RickK 04:31, 23 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
