Bumvertising
This is an advertisement. Well, actually a hoax that leads to an advertisement 216.35.131.141 14:53, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep As the original author of the article, I started it after seeing numerous mentions in the media - TV and national newspapers. It's certainly no hoax.  Nor is it an advertisement, it's a method of advertisement.  I specifically avoided linking to or highlighting the products/inventor of the term.  SchmuckyTheCat 15:37, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Weak keep The major news media have decreed "It's Noteworthy". And, no, I don't think this page is an ad. Nowhither 06:52, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Not an ad or a hoax. Has been getting major press in Los Angeles. Sean Bonner 00:18, August 31, 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete. Advertising. Gamaliel 03:58, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep. The article was clearly used to contribute to the promotion of the publicity campaign, but it has attracted media notice from reputable outlets. I have cleaned up the article to put the campaign into a little more context and added a couple of references. Dystopos 04:39, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep. With all of the media buzz this topic has been receiving, I wouldn't be surprised to see the term used more frequently within the English language vernacular. SeattleAssAsher
 * Keep. I suppose the media attention qualifies. --Netvor 07:38, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep. I've actually seen it up here, and it was on the local news (granted, it was a slow news day.) This is also not an ad Bob the Cannibal 19:16, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. I like. I personally bumvertise in my spare time.  Right now I'm in the local library.  Its the only form of employment I can get, bumvertising.
 * This afd nomination was orphaned. Listing now.  No opinion. &mdash;Cryptic (talk) 13:15, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - however revolting and morality-free. Vizjim 15:35, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. nn. Andrew pmk | Talk 23:17, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable cultural phenomenon. And hey, I didn't know you could sponsor Frank Chu's signs! --MCB 07:14, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Here in Russia it's a common practice...  Grue   15:11, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. This just hit The Daily Show (prompting me to check Wikipedia for an article), and I see that it has been receiving a great deal of media attention. The practice (assuming that it's not a Joey Skaggs-style prank) is disgusting and reprehensible, but that's irrelevant.  And if it does turn out to be a hoax, that will be equally noteworthy.  &mdash;Lifeisunfair 04:30, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
