Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Price Pirate

Aargh, mateys! This is a cliche-ridden ad for a single bargain outlet in Florida. One Google hit. - Lucky 6.9 00:10, 10 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * Poor advert - delete. Secretlondon 00:43, 10 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete, but this is a great name. [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 01:19, 10 Jul 2004 (UTC)


 * Comment: Isn't it, though?  I thought for sure it was the name of a chain when I started to edit it from a nightmare commercial to an encyclopedia article.  I see enough client-generated attempts to write copy over at work.  They generally amount to attempts to try and stuff print techniques into radio commercials. - Lucky 6.9 01:30, 10 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * Blatant ad. Delete. And it gets better. -- Cyrius|&#9998; 02:48, 10 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * Actually, that story makes me more sympathetic to them. Geogre 04:01, 10 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * Ah, you found that too. That article is what decided it for me. - Lucky 6.9 05:09, 10 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete: No Iranians here, nosiree! Just some Welsh-Swedes, so you know you can trust them.  I don't know if this says more sad things about the author or the people of that part of Florida. Geogre 03:49, 10 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Advert by newbie. It may be salvageable but I doubt it, I find the story linked to above interesting but probably not a justification for an article on each of the 18 stores involved. I've left a welcome message, but I didn't link directly to this subpage. Have another look at it and see if you can guess why. Andrewa 04:32, 10 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * Comment: A newbie mistake, like not bolding, is one thing, but advertisers who are, essentially, hijacking the project for their purposes, are not, I would think, in anything like the same category. They are subjecting themselves to hostility by an hostile act.  People may be too mean to vanity pagers who are really just intending to create a user page, but someone who puts in an entry for a store that's very long, has wiki links, and is POV, is probably not tender.  I also think that racism has no cover, and xenophobia no excuse. Geogre 14:59, 10 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * Comment (reply): Generally agree, but I'm not convinced that replying in like kind is helpful. Andrewa 21:35, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)


 * Delete, but the "shady Iranians" bit was cute :) DryGrain 16:44, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)
