Draft:Maralsay Gorge

 * – (View MfD)

Group of poorly-sourced drafts created by a couple of confirmed sockfarms, see Sockpuppet_investigations/Zhanmiko. They appear to be copied from somewhere/unattributed machine translations, but I can't identify a source. As far as I can tell, the real purpose of these is to covertly advertise zhetysu.travel (note that all have a link to that website with a display text like "Tourist information center"). Page creators not notified since they are all blocked. GeneralNotability (talk) 19:58, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
 * To be clear: I have no objection to these topics, and they may be notable, I want them deleted because they're covertly promoting this website, are probably copyvios, and frankly are very low quality. GeneralNotability (talk) 20:23, 3 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Soft Delete All - I have checked a few (not most) of the drafts and their histories. I had declined one of the drafts in AFC.  I concur that the drafts are of poor quality, and the places probably satisfy geographic notability, and that the creators that I checked have been blocked for sockpuppetry.  If the master had been blocked at the time of creation, they would be G5.  It is easier for a neutral editor to start over than the rework this crud about places that are real tourist attractions.  Leaving them around for G13 will probably result in more socks editing them, so we might as well wash them all in acid.  Robert McClenon (talk) 23:31, 3 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete all due to the link spamming. The drafts themselves are awful and unreferenced and given the link spam, it is better to have a fresh start regardless of notability. -- Whpq (talk) 14:11, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Soft delete all per nom. If there’s a REFUND request, check individually for copyvio and NOTPROMOTION violation. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 06:47, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
