Was patrolling recent changes and noticed several articles with content that looked rather bizarre, looking like a printout of knowledge from a research paper. For example: “Shoppers Nevertheless Have a Taste for Gingerbread”. Should I just mark the articles for deletion for advertising, or is there a policy on this that I’m not aware of?
That article had a bunch of links (if it’s the one I’m thinking of) that you rightly spotted as potential spam. You’ve two choices; if you read it as spam/advertising but it might become a useful article if cleaned up then tag it as NFD|Adv (or clean it up), or if it is beyond becoming an article then tag it as {{speedy}}. It’s your call, whichever you do is good, you’ve spotted the problem in the first place.
Thanks Dave, what I’ve been doing is marking them as advertising. Most of these are unable to be rescued due to the ridiculous titles, but thanks for the advice!
Ugh, is this a follow-up to the spam userpages?
^no. Well I don’t think so.
