Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/*MTV

 This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was keep.

Please note that 66.31.151.24 (talk &middot; contributions) eventually changed this article into a redirect to MTV, which does not seem to be the consensus here. I am thus reverting back to the pre-VfD stage. If this is wrong, please feel free to let me know or revert my changes. --Deathphoenix 23:57, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

*MTV
Advertising. Author also created VirginXL, listed above. --Plek 11:33, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and cleanup. Probably from a newby who doesn't know wikipedia's style, I doubt that the guys from MTV are going around spamming wikipedia, and if they were it would look a bit more sophisticated. Kappa 11:53, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * "More sophisticated"? How can you say that? There's nothing inherently subtle or sophisticated about marketing people -- look at last year's Super Bowl commercials. --Calton 00:35, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep -- and cleanup. Longhair 11:56, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, doesn't read like advertising to me. Nick04 13:25, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge to Virgin Mobile. Does this really merit its own article when its part of the Virgin Mobile service? I can't see it expanding much. Megan1967 23:06, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. It's an MTV product, not a Virgin Mobile product.  RickK 23:32, Feb 27, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with Virgin Mobile--nixie 08:34, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't have a Virgin Mobile USA phone. Am I doing something wrong?   &mdash; J I P | Talk 09:58, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * No, you're not doing anything wrong. It's just that the overzealous deletionists seem to be out tonight...  - Eric Herboso  10:38, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete. A three sentence article that says that for the Virgin Mobile USA phone, MTV is offering a service with music news, alerts, some games, and access to the "MTV community" via text messaging.   This factoid does not merit a separate article, and if it is of interest to anyone can be edited into the MTV or Virgin Mobile articles.  --BM 12:39, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete or merge/redir to either MTV or Virgin Mobile. Just some random co-marketing campaign like SBC Yahoo!. Here today, gone tomorrow. Nice to see that Civility and Assume good faith apparently have been suspended 'tonight'. :/ Niteowlneils 13:25, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * No offense intended, of course. Just consider me another inclusionist attempting to keep info on obscure topics alive...  - Eric Herboso  02:03, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep. Agree with RickK, our latest convert to inclusionism.  &mdash;RaD Man (talk) 02:11, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge, concur with Megan. Radiant! 08:28, Mar 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. The Recycling Troll 09:57, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect or delete outright. It's pure advertising. --Calton 00:35, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)
