The result of the debate was delete all four.  K ilo-Lima|(talk) 11:54, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Voice Changer, Voice Changer Software, AV voice changer software, Music Morpher
Delete this quartet of advertisements. Originally and arguably still copyvio from http://www.audio4fun.com and other pages within, the several redlinked editors to these two articles and AV Voice Changer Software, already speedied, are clearly just promoting their software (one editor is even User:Voicechanger); they all only edit these articles, and on Talk:Voice Changer speak of "we". Note that if you follow that link, the two terms in the titles of these articles are names of products on their website. I tried PRODding the first two, with predictably little success.

The articles start of sounding genuine but quickly come to discuss clearly proprietary questions in enthusiastic language. I do not think this walled garden of articles should be cleaned up: WP:NOT for advertising, at any level whatsoever, and these should be deleted to make that abundantly clear. -Splash talk 12:52, 10 April 2006 (UTC)


 * I've had some interaction with the creator, but none of the concerns I raised have been addressed. I don't expect that they will be, and if they are, I can then change my opinion from Strong Delete all per combinations of WP:SOFTWARE, WP:COPYVIO, WP:NOT and simple spamvertising.

 * Delete as per above.--Hooperbloob 14:39, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete AV voice changer software & Music Morpher as blatent advertising of non-notable software. Merge anything salvageable from Voice Changer Software to Voice Changer.  Edit (and I will do this if it survives AfD) Voice Changer to strip out list of vendors, etc so it is an actual encyclopedic article and then monitor against further adspamming in the article.--Isotope23 17:20, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
 * But "Voice Changer" is not a thing, it's just a name for a piece of software. We already have a lengthy featured article on Speech synthesis and these articles provide no additional useful information because they are so keen to promote themselves and do so in a simple quick-fire factoid manner. -Splash talk 18:18, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete all: non-notable software spam. --Hetar 17:52, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete all: per nom. Golfcam 04:01, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Move and improve: this is a notable topic (alterations to vocal sounds) however you're right... these articles are too commercial.--Keycard (talk) 08:24, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
 * We have a featured article already: Speech synthesis. There's no need to pollute that article with these pieces of astroturf. -Splash talk 12:49, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete all: Don't think it can be salvaged. Sohum 00:40, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
