MMM-2011

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

I'm nominating this for deletion. It's probably the worst article I've ever seen on Wikipedia. It's clearly a shill and out to sell whatever product this is supposed to be, nevermind the generally awful translation and that it's sprinkled with random emotes. Wikipedia really doesn't need this. --93.200.25.68 (talk) 01:23, 30 August 2012 (UTC) — SPGremlin (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * An IP editor tagged the article for AfD and left a nominating statement on the article talk page . I have copied it above and completed the nominating process on the IP editor's behalf. Monty  845  02:50, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - subject notability seems out of question. Article needs improvement, not deletion. --SPGremlin (talk) 15:30, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Dramatically trim and merge with subject's bio The nominator is wrong on some accounts, particularly that this article is "out to sell [something]" because it's clearly about a Ponzi scheme that has been busted and well-publicized. The subject seems notable but we don't need an article about both the Ponzi scheme and its perpetrator. But there is a lot of material that needs to be trimmed from this article if it's kept or merged as there appears to be quite a bit of OR and a few POV issues as well.

 * Keep - Yeah needs better prose and not deletion.--BabbaQ (talk) 20:31, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
 * note to closing admin the generic vote above is a spree of 7 keep !votes in 10 minutes by this editor. LibStar (talk) 11:01, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge to Sergei Mavrodi. We don't need two separate articles about the same scam. "MMM-2011" seems like a much less likely search term than the name of the perpetrator. --MelanieN (talk) 00:20, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
