Worst decision
I'm not sure about this one. I declined a speedy, put up a prod which was just removed. Looks like a two-person promotional company based out of the UK for bands, that tries to get fans to form "teams" to assist in band promotion worldwide. They've got Bowling for Soup on their registry. Google was unhelpful. Alexa on the website is >100,000. I think it's a delete. -- Samir  धर्म 11:59, 24 August 2006 (UTC) Note from article author - i only removed one article for deletion notice earlier today - and in the comments it said I could if the article was improved... which it was. I added more links and details about the future of the company. - Article author 18:45, 24 August 2006 (UTC) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by scottcabal (talk • contribs).
 * It's an advert, it's borderline nn, its unencyclopaedic, I say we do away with it per Samir. --Amists 12:36, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete for now, unless references are included that substantiate notability, then maybe, if you can find me, I'll change my vote. Addhoc 12:47, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete Spam of obscure company. Moreover, it seems that the article authors are constantly removing the delete tags. --Mecanismo | Talk 17:42, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

 * KEEP - I found and added some proof the company does indeed do everything they say they do, are notable and not fakers spamming an obscure company. Seems they have been operating since 2003 and do have several thousand members and contacts in the music industry. They have been added to the article scottcabal 18:24, 24 August 2006 (UTC))
 * Keep - a quick google of "worst decision" + "steet team" reveals many pages about them - links to the official sites - various myspace members talking about them, messages on forums about them by various people and links to the street teams they manage. http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=%22worst+decision%22+%2B+%22street+team%22&meta= —The preceding unsigned comment was added by scottcabal (talk • contribs).
 * Comment please don't vote twice. One user, one vote. --Mecanismo | Talk 22:41, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
 * So what you're saying is that the article cites absolutely no reliable sources whatsoever? WilyD 20:05, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Are you blind? theres like 10 references
 * Please don't remove the AFD tag, as instructed on the tag itself, even if you feel the article has been removed. Anyway, delete as nn and OR. Molerat 22:15, 24 August 2006 (UTC)


 * ACTUALLY IT DOES SAY YOU CAN REMOVE THE TAG IF THE ARTICLE IS IMPROVED - WHICH IT WAS
 * Delete --Casper2k3 22:56, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Bands may be notable, but promotion by its very nature is advertising. --Xrblsnggt 02:38, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
 * In that case why not remove articles about the bbc and other people like that?
 * Because they're encyclopaedic and not spam. WilyD 01:08, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
