Tsunami Memorial

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Article was created by what appears to be a single-purpose account and is written in a very promotional tone. The same information is repeated on the creator's userpage. The article is strongly POV, is unsourced and it would be very difficult to fix without starting over entirely, which I would not be opposed to if this event is in fact notable.

 * CommentAs a side note, I came across this page while working on improving various articles and find this one to be outside of my capabilities to improve. While I could take this elsewhere to request improvement for this article (I really hate AfD'ing things), this seems the best way to get an article up to snuff if it can be done.

 * As above. A badly written essay. Also, the final paragraph does not even makes sense. It's blaming human greed and abuse of the planet for... an earthquake?! Global warming? Sure. Loss of rain forest? Yup. Death of Dodos? Fo' shizzle. But is our capitalism really the root cause of making plates of the Earth's crust to collide with one another? And someone ought to tell him we are already living in the Third Millenium CE...--Agamemnon2 13:15, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

 * To be fair it has been rewritten quite a bit. It's obviously based on that webpage, but it's not a cut and paste now.  The problem is in the title perhaps, it's not an actual monument memorial, more a kind of religious service and so perhaps isn't notable because of that.    Nick mallory 05:50, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
