Wikibooks:Requests for deletion/2 Button Mens Suits

== 2 Button Mens Suits ==

This page was tagged as a speedy by Geoff Plourde (3 August 2009). I think that there is some content that shouldn't be simply deleted and that the stub is of value and too recent (12 June 2009) to be merely deleted, so I changed the speedy request for a VFD. --Panic (talk) 19:33, 3 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Symbol keep vote.svg Keep I have toned down the links and provided 2 other alternatives (random selections from a search on the topic) so the spam issue is partially addressed.
 * In any case the page is too recent and does have content that shouldn't be lost. I feel again that talking with the page creator and educating him would be more productive (even if there is some suspicions of bad faith) that doesn't affect the content nor the value of the subject the page covers. The creator was welcomed and an attempt to request more input was made but it seems not replied to.
 * I also urge that someone that can would check the page history and if the 3 contributors that attempted to flood the page with the same link are identical or from the same range a block of the most recent ones should be considered as the action demonstrates bad faith in a coordinated way.
 * Finally, the page should be renamed (haven't searched for other works that could use the content) or could be merged.
 * In any case a good catch by Geoff Plourde... --Panic (talk) 19:42, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't care either way, but... Wikibooks does not seem the appropriate place to stash a one page handout on men's suits. Now, if someone wanted to write a book on suits/clothing, that's another matter. Maybe we should move this to userspace? Geoff Plourde (talk) 20:10, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Only the owner of the user space can make that decission. In any case we do support stubs on this project no one is expected to commit to the full creation of a work. If some content is usable we should strive to keep it, see the above discussion about English Grammar 2.
 * Since the VFD was not initiated only due to the speedy (if so I would have talked to you directly) but due to the multiple accounts that engaged on the action you detected. Have you checked that the content is proper? (I haven't examined if it was copied form somewhere else, just to justify the addition of the links...) --Panic (talk) 20:45, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
