Draft:The Coldwell Conspiracy

 * – (View MfD) &#8203;

Created in violation of WP:PAID and WP:COI, by a user with the username of the group (hence obvious coi and paid and now blocked). G11 declined as "not blatant spam". I disagree with this given the creater created it in violation of coi, paid thus it falls into what I term not-overtly-promo promo. Lavalizard101 (talk) 11:12, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. COI is not a reason for deletion, and the article is reasonable neutral, despite being created by a use with the same name as the band. This is a band that doesn't appear to be notable, but since drafts aren't required to be notable and aren't indexed by Google, I would recommend leaving the draft alone, and if the draft isn't edited to show notability, it will disappear in six months.

 * "the article is reasonable neutral, despite being created by a use with the same name as the band" that's why I called it not-overtly-promo promo. Its still promotion to create a draft about your own band. Lavalizard101 (talk) 15:38, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete this draft is poorly created, since it has no references. Catfurball (talk) 16:54, 3 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep - It's a low-quality draft that would be declined or rejected if submitted. Low quality isn't a reason to delete drafts.  Robert McClenon (talk) 02:57, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. Read Wikipedia talk:Deletion policy/Archive 49 and the several prior discussions at WT:DEL linked in that discussion.  There is a strong minority option that deletion should be a recourse for enforcement of WP:PAID policy, there is stronger opposition, and it is definitely not community consensus.  And that was talking about mainspace, where COI editors are not allowed to edit, they are *supposed* to confine themselves to draftspace (or userspace).  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 03:00, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep - reasonable for draftspace in terms of content and leeway for necessary disclosures to be made. — Godsy (TALK CONT ) 04:53, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep: not nearly so objectionable as to necessitate the expenditure of volunteer time to delete it. It's harmless in draftspace, and barring improvement it will die a natural death in six months' time. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 00:29, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
