Virtual vandalism

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Several issues - no evidence of notability. Written like a personal essay. Only one self-published reference. (The article on the reference was previously deleted as not having any notability). Article does not have a NPOV. It's been tagged for repair for almost two years now but the issues remain. Dmol (talk) 01:13, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete The source only mentions the term "virtual vandalism" once, I think "online vandalism" is more appropriate. Having said that, I don't see much evidence that it is a notable concept - or that it should have an article.  WormTT   &middot; &#32;(talk) 10:02, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete This article could be merged with website defacement, but it seems to add nothing substantial or informative anyway. The quotes listed are useless and take up the majority of the article. The mention of a "Dr. Cohen" at the end doesn't explain who he is or why he is notable. The term "virtual vandalism" is not widely used, either. The usage of the word "virtual" to mean something "online" or "on the internet" is antiquated and would require more reliable sources that assert the term's widespread usage.

 * Delete: Unsourced neologism; this is a slam dunk.   Ravenswing   19:17, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
