 * It's got a reasonable number and quality of citations for what it is, and it speaks about something specific that (however trite or banal) a significant number of people know about. If you make a joke about these ads in a modern English-speaking country, most people would probably know what you're talking about, so you could argue it has a small but appreciable amount of cultural significance in the background of our advertising-dominated society. 69.172.176.96 (talk) 06:36, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
 * It's also a warning that helps to prevent people being conned out of their money, which may be why some people would like to see it deleted. Philafrenzy (talk) 08:33, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
 * The intersections of people who are likely to read this article with people who are vulnerable to or perpetrating these scams are probably vanishingly small. More likely is that there's an instinctive bias to discount small annoying ads as trivial and unimportant because of how ubiquitous they are, without realizing that that same ubiquity actually makes them noteworthy as a feature of your society. 69.172.176.96 (talk) 20:40, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
