List of coupon websites

I don't know if this should be speedily deleted or not. Basically, this article has no significance and may be promotional (though probably not). I don't think it deserves it's own article as it is not encyclopedic. &mdash; Music1201  talk  22:34, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete - At the moment the entire article is based around the US .... if we were to globalize it it'd be impossible to keep up to date and we would never know what's vandalism and what isn't, Plus I'm not entirely convinced we need an article on what or who sells coupons .... Not every subject in the world needs an article (I'm sure there's an essay somewhere for ← that), Anyway Delete. – Davey 2010 Talk 01:33, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Weak delete - The list is quite unencyclopedic. I'm afraid if the page is to keep, it will be vandalized by users adding their website to the list in an attempt for advertisement. I understand that is not a valid reason to delete an article, hence my "weak" vote. Meatsgains (talk) 01:46, 13 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete - This is not a list of "coupon websites". It is a hodge podge of cashback websites, loyalty programs, "deal" websites, group buying websites, online shopping rewards sites, coupon companies that have websites, and a whole lot of companies who make products and happen issue coupons for those products (e.g. Target, WalMart, and Pillsbury are listed). In other words it's list of websites and companies that happen to have websites, vaguely related to the concept of discounted consumer goods. &mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 16:25, 13 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete for the above reasons (it's not viable as a list), with an additional reason that the page was created by an obvious sock of User:Artofwebdevelopment who first tried to advertise Qpoonz (deleted article), and when that failed due to the page being deleted as spam, vandalised by reposting it as a copy of Groupon with that name replaced by "Qpoonz" throughout. I believe that the list under discussion here was created as another attempt to get Qpoonz in some form into Wikipedia – note that it was the first one in the list before I (cheekily) removed it because it was a redlink: it was, of course. —S MALL  JIM   22:20, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
