Speedy Delete: Clearly an advertisement for a simple franchise owner.Steroid Expert 08:48, 31 July 2006 (UTC) Added title. Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 09:51, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Definitely not a candidate for speedy deletion (this is not the appropriate place to propose speedies, anyway). It doesn't read like an advertisement, either. Please assume good faith. Although I agree that the business does not seem notable enough for an article of its own, I don't see why this can't simply be redirected to ERA Real Estate, and have taken the liberty of doing just that. fuddlemark (befuddle me!) 10:19, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep the redirect but should the target be on AfD also? I don't know what to make of "ERA Real Estate became an indepndent subsidiary of the Realogy Corporation on August 1, 2006" - we're on different worldlines here! Dlyons493 Talk 16:27, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, now that it is redirect. I am giving the target article the benefit of the doubt. Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 16:34, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete anyway, even though now changed to a redirect. (As an aside, real estate agencies and agents have a special set of rules to remove multiple incarnations in the Open Directory Project. Only travel agents have a similar restriction.) I realize it doesn't meet the requirements for WP:RfD, but I wouldn't be surprised if it changes back to Wikipedia:Vanispamcruftisement after this XfD completes. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 22:55, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, even though it's a redirect to the WP:CORP-meeting parent company. Redirects are cheap as free, but this one doesn't seem particularly useful, and nothing has been merged. --Kinu t/c 15:09, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
