Anti Vandalism Unit
Odd "organization," doesn't seem to do anything different than the Counter-Vandalism Unit (and was actually initially created in articlespace) and has soccer players in it for some reason. Rory096 05:07, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Seen a lot of these popping up lately... funny how the page itself got vandalised. Master of Puppets FREE BIRD!  05:10, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
 * That's not vandalism, the creator did that. --Rory096 05:14, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
 * But... why? >_> Master of Puppets FREE BIRD!  05:16, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
 * The answer to that is beyond me. :o --Rory096 05:31, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Similar to the CVU not only in concept but in name (at least be more original!). Organized unusually. Also, as MoP said, a lot of organizations similar to CVU have been popping up lately. Kala  ni  [talk] 05:53, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete this and all others Computerjoe 's talk 08:18, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Looks like a joke to me.  It was created by a vandal account - couldn't this be speedied?  --Hugh Charles Parker (talk - contribs) 12:24, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, nonsnese. --Ter e nce Ong 13:37, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Why delete rather than merge and redirect? What is actively harmful about this effort?  Rossami (talk) 13:57, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect? First of all, there's little to merge but a table of soccer players.  Second, nobody's going to type "Wikipedia:Anti Vandalism Unit" into the search box, so a redirect will do little good.  This is just one of many recent copies of CVU because it's "fun" or "cool," I suppose. --Rory096 17:52, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirects are useful for more than just supporting the search engine. They also point users to the proper place for their contributions.  Why not be bold and redirect them rather than wasting all the time processing an XfD nomination?  (You're probably right that there wasn't anything worth merging in this one...)  Rossami (talk)
 * Delete per nom. - Nick C 18:56, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Kill with fire  Will  ( E @ )  T  13:22, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Simply no need for it.  Rockpock e  t  06:42, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete and redirect to Counter-Vandalism Unit as a plausible search term. Sjakkalle (Check!)  12:08, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - redirect to CVU -- Tawker 01:46, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete and redirect. --Ryan Delaney talk 07:08, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, and create a redirect in its place, per above. By the way, are they really happy to take anyone on an overseas holiday? --bainer (talk) 07:13, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
