Created by a spammer as a medium for adding more of his spam links to Wikipedia. RickK 23:12, Jun 28, 2004 (UTC)

Well, I don't see any links even in the article, so I don't really get your reasoning, but nevertheless, this article is unnecessary, as we already have Net dating service. blankfaze | ?? | ?? 23:49, 28 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Try looking at the history. I deleted the Wikispam before posting this here. RickK 04:38, Jun 29, 2004 (UTC)
  - I thought policy was just to <nowiki> links... blankfaze | •• | •• 18:12, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)
    - I've never heard of such policy nor do I intend to follow it even if it were. RickK 19:03, Jun 29, 2004 (UTC)

So redirect to Net dating service to stop this page coming back. Simple. -- Graham ☺ | Talk 23:58, 28 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Redirect to Net dating service. Possibly ban user. Derrick Coetzee 00:21, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Original article had links. I vote to delete and recreate as a redirect so it's gone from history too. --ssd 00:23, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Redirect or delete, regardless of who wrote it - Tεx τ urε 22:02, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Delete and recreate as redirect. Andris 23:27, Jun 29, 2004 (UTC)
Keep, don't delete or redirect. The fact the it was created by a spammer is no reason to delete. Online dating is a phenomenon on the net, Net dating service is a service offered by websites. Please provide reasons why the page should be redirected, on the talk page. Jay 16:04, 2 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Keep and expand. It looks like any advertising has been removed, and it doesn't belong in Net dating service, because surely using a third-party service is only one of multiple methods of online dating? BeakerK44 01:40, 3 Jul 2004 (UTC)
