Ponzi Terminology

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Prod declined. To the extent this is a coherent entry, it's redudant to Ponzi scheme, Pyramid scheme and other pages. But largely it's not that coherent. For example, the entry tells you that Ponzi schemes use "Interest Return Payment" and "Investment Return" incorrectly. Uh, yes, and? I'm supposed to avoid investment schemes that offer investment returns? Hairhorn (talk) 19:24, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. All the article seems to say is that internet scammers sometimes use terms incorrectly. At the very most, that could be reduced to a single sentence in Spam (electronic), but I don't believe the point is significant enough even for that. Rofreg (talk) 03:16, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - It's unclear exactly what topic is supposed to be covered here. But it is clear that this isn't an encyclopedia article. -- Whpq (talk) 12:53, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - Truly encyclopedic content here. We should call Encyclopedia Britannica to make sure they also cover this with an article. Possibly the greatest encyclopedic legacy we could leave to the future generations.--LexCorp (talk) 22:15, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
