 * Speedy delete After all the content that had been copied word for word from http://www.optimizedsearching.com/ has been removed, all that remains is the intro and some references to Google books. It could be redirected to Search engine optimization, perhaps. --bonadea contributions talk 05:55, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete for Bonadea's exact reasons. This campaign by has been going on for almost two months now. Haakon (talk) 09:03, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment: Page creator now indef-blocked. --Pgallert (talk) 10:47, 29 March 2010 (UTC)


 *  Speedy delete under g10. Do not redirect to Search engine optimization. (This was the option rejected by the article creator, who expressed a need to get this "published." Now I know why.) This is not a likely search term. Apparently it's just the name of the webpage he was trying to promote. Recommend SALT.  Dloh  cierekim  13:45, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment Kam Optimized searching has been salted. Reading the creator's talk and and edit history, it's impressive they were not blocked sooner. Dloh  cierekim  13:45, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Flipped back to redirect. the title is a valid topic. Dloh  cierekim  13:50, 29 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment I edited the nom'd article bcz it showed up at Category:Disambiguation pages in need of cleanup and summarized
 * Change Cats calls (mostly aggressively alpha'd spam) to Cat refs
 * believing that the usurpation of the role i think of as "first-listed article on the Category, which explains what the Cat is defined by", on that Cat pg & 8 others, was an intentional SOE SEO measure by the author, with the intent to spam our users. Investigating further, i find it likely those usurpations are likely to be the result of a clueless editor using an "Article Wizard" that may offer some traps for it presumably uniformly clueless editors. I conclude that my imputation of bad faith to the editor in question (the originator of the nom'd article) was unjustified, and that there is a high probability that no "aggressive use of the alphabetizing parameter" of the Cat invocations was intended. My apologies to all concerned. --Jerzy•t 21:07 & 23:58, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
