 * User generated content like Scamdex is not a reliable source. --Neil N  talk to me 22:31, 12 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Are there any sources you would recommend? I suppose "I have personally recieved this email message, and since no one from L'Oréal has claimed ownership of this email, it is undoubtedly fake." isn't a reliable resource. IQAndreas (talk) 22:35, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
 * No it isn't :-) The problem is, no newspapers, magazines, etc. have deemed it notable enough to cover. --Neil N  talk to me 22:39, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
 * How about adding a "this article is a stub" or "this article needs more references" notice at the top, urging others to come in and fix the article as needed? IQAndreas (talk) 22:42, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I sympathize, but every article, even a stub, has to meet our notability criteria in order to exist. That means having at least one reliable source. --Neil N  talk to me 22:47, 12 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Scams like these get released by the hundreds per day, they are as common as raindrops. Without refs it fails WP:N, as it is just not a notable subject. - Ahunt (talk) 22:47, 12 November 2014 (UTC)


 * No matter, the article has now been deleted. - Ahunt (talk) 23:16, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
