World Top Up Day

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A made-up holiday which was nothing more than a marketing exercise for a mobile phone company. Should have been deleted as G11 advertising way before now. Cabayi (talk) 14:32, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete - distinct lack of independent sources for this independent of the phone company marketing it. (or press releases etc from them) Mike1901 (talk) 15:02, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete: No independent coverage found, just material sourced to the company whose PR initiative this was. Fails the various WP:NEVENT criteria and also WP:GNG. AllyD (talk) 19:28, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete for badly failing our guidelines -- and please prevent its re-creation while we're at it. This is so blatantly an advertisement that it barely conceals it with a dicdef. Need we remind spammers that Wikipedia is a charity and not a free place to post your ad? Bearian (talk) 17:07, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete possibly made up. All sources are self-published. Ajf773 (talk) 07:55, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
