Legalsoup
Recommending delete. Article appears to be about a non-notable organisation in the Channel Islands which offers legal advice or quasi legal advice for a fee. Author of an article (who may be a newbie) seems to have an unlikeable propensity for removing comments from talk pages that he doesn't like. Legis 07:33, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Basically an advert for nn website (not particularly good advert). Nigel  (Talk) 12:08, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. --InShaneee 15:38, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

OK people - lets be a little dynamic - Mircosoft's website is an advert but the entry is useful for other reasons. Similarly this word is actaully being consider for inclusion in the Oxford concise for 2006 entry. There is some interesting academic debate about the origins, I wrote it up in a very simple way which may be suggestive of advertising but I was following exsisting Wiki protocols. Perhaps some of you may be able to encapsulate or re-write it better than me to address the debate over the term its history and correct usage. --Alexwebpro 12:46, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment - I guess removing the AfD notice will not help your cause Nigel (Talk) 12:52, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

No certainly not Nigel and I was not immediately aware that I had done that when I first edited, so point taken. But what is interesting Nigel is how so many new terms are coming into exsistance and how slow the print editions are to capture them. I recently came across the word 'Bigsmall'which is currently the subject of a car advert but also very similar to the Notorious B.I.G's name Biggie Smalls. Now of course if you look up the definition of that word you will no doubt come across Toyota. I think this raises funadamental questions about where one draws the line. To all of you above try typing 'bigsmall' into google and I am confident that you will come across alot that is connected with Toyota. This could be seen as a form of viral marketing. And yet the word still has meaning independent of the now infamous advertising campaign. My arguement is that 'Legalsoup' falls into this same catagory.--Alexwebpro 13:47, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
