No improvements to the page have been made since 4 January 2010. The creator, Aaronzat ( talk · contribs), who is a single-purpose account, has not edited since 20 January 2010. Cunard ( talk) 09:35, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
- Delete. On a fresh look, I see promotion and material not based on suitable sources. That the contributor is a SPA is not a relevant factor. That the contributor specialised in adding a common external link, related to the subject of this page, to several articles is a matter for concern. I suspect the user was here only to promote. -- SmokeyJoe ( talk) 09:04, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
- That the contributor is an SPA is relevant because it reveals the motives behind his actions. Cunard ( talk) 09:17, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
- Wikipedia needs more people than the high edit count regulars to build and maintain content. Much of the continuing material is due to editors who submitted very few contributions, and very focused contributions. These people could easily be labelled SPAs, and so I think it undesirable that this term is used routinely as a disparagement. -- SmokeyJoe ( talk) 09:59, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
- Wikipedia does not need spammers. From the userspace draft: "The founders and collaborators have more than twenty years of experience and a track successful real-world applications in wide different areas." Cunard ( talk) 10:04, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
- Agree with that, but not all SPAs are spammers or otherwise unwanted. -- SmokeyJoe ( talk) 11:33, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
- Where have I said that "all SPAs are spammers or otherwise unwanted"? Cunard ( talk) 01:06, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
