Photo scanning

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Spammy page on photo scanning, reads like a copyvio. Smacks of WP:NOT as well. Ten Pound Hammer • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 17:14, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Image scanner This article was created on July 24 by copying and pasting from the older article Image scanner and adding links to photo scanning services. Without those links to commercial scanning services, it seems to be 100 % copy and paste from the other article. Photo scanning can be a section in the more general  Image scanner article until the extent of referenced and non-spamlink content is so great that its length requires a splitoff to a separate article. The present article, now that the links to commercial services are deleted is entirely a cut and paste. This article was for a time blanked by "archiving" its content, but I restored it for the AFD. I don't think a copyvio from another Wikipedia article requires blanking during AFD. There is a need for such an article, or such a section in Image scanner, but this isn't it. It just seems like a well intentioned effort to provide useful links for people with a shoebox full of old photos who need them scanned. Edison 18:01, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
