United Under Economy

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable organisation; sources are self-published by "founder"; gibberish text; not a real standards body in any meaningful sense. bobrayner (talk) 10:44, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete as nominator; it's just made up - admittedly by somebody who's made up some other stuff and put it on several sites like scribd and youtube, but still made up. bobrayner (talk) 11:07, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per the nominator. Try parsing the sentence "The Syndicate for Mathematical Appliance and Resource Technology (S.M.A.R.T.) rotisserie fosters subsidiary coins – Imaginatomy and Creativeering – each being either unique or conformal, where such instruments are utilized as joysticks in stewart (stew choreography)" into something approaching meaningful English without straining a brain muscle. Seems to be yet another in a long series of "Link Starbureiy" hoaxes or injokes or something that have been introduced to Wikipedia, either as articles (see Articles_for_deletion/Link_Starbureiy or as bogus references (see a discussion about the The Link Egglepple Starbureiy Museum being a reliable source) As Bobrayner says, the person behind it has sourced the article off-wiki with self-published sources; in the longer term, he has been pushing the whole Link Starbureiy-related stuff on blogs and forums for quite a while; I found a forum post from 2003 and mentions that seem to go back to 2001 or so. Anyhoo, back to the article: this is a joke made-up entity.  FlowerpotmaN &middot;( t ) 23:29, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. This and all of the other articles that Bobraynor has decided to attack today have been well-cited. References supplied.
 * Note to Bobraynor, if you keep this up your account will be suspended within the next 24 hours.Rajpaj (talk) 23:50, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Rajpaj, threats like that only discredit you further. You're in a hole; stop digging.
 * A better alternative might be to offer a policy-based reason to keep the article. Alternatively, you could try to find some reliable sources as an alternative to the self-published guff on Scribd, Google Docs, &c. bobrayner (talk) 00:18, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Comment: There are actually four items from the same creator which have been nominated for deletion. They are: File:Clopen symbol.png, Joey Koala, United Under Economy, and Ronald Ellis (American businessman). The latter is the odd one out as Ronald Ellis is merely non-notable rather than fictional. bobrayner (talk) 00:34, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete and Salt. Article subject appears to be fictional, and non-notably fictional at that. --NellieBly (talk) 01:45, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete This uses purely primary sources and provides not a shred of notability with coverage from any secondary sources. OCNative (talk) 14:23, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
