National association of investors corporation[edit]

This reads like an advert. Cordless Larry 01:21, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. However badly this article is written, it seems that they are notable. This link shows their chairman ringing the bell at the NYSE. I'll make some attempts at a cleanup. Kevin 01:29, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Abstain The article is amazingly terrible, and even its title (which should be "National Association of Investors Corporation") is poor, but with that said, I can't figure out if this is worth a rewrite or not. If Kevin1243 is going to attempt it, then by all means, do so. But for now, I'm just going to vote with a no vote. -- Kicking222 01:36, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - I'm going to try the old wipe it clean and let someone start again, and it'll end up better than trying to clean this up trick. - Richardcavell 02:01, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment this is a ridiculously redundant title. Association and Corporation in the same title? wtf? M1ss1ontomars2k4 | T | C | @ 02:01, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
That is the actual title of the organization. GRBerry 01:39, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • weak keep per Kevin and 45000 Ghits M1ss1ontomars2k4 | T | C | @ 02:02, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, per Kevin. As painful as it is, someone should pity on it and clean it up. Rockpocket (talk) 07:40, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep, per the 44,600 relevant google hits (when excluding Wikipedia and mirrors). The article does read like an advertisement, and though the majority of hits are relevant, they all appear along the lines of a single, few-word definition that's identical to what our article has (though this looks promising).

I've been boning up on investing lately, and a few of the books I've blown through on the topic have said that they are one of the best sources for people interested in starting or joining an investment club. GRBerry 01:39, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep. Maybe rewriting the article will make it better.--Jusjih 13:59, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and cleanup. Put a cleanup tag on the article to get attention (it seems like this has already been done). I'm not a fan of deleting articles that can be cleaned up and expanded. --Quintin3265 21:03, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    Seriously, does anyone know if the AfD helper automatically inserts the image on a whim, or what? --M1ss1ontomars2k4 | T | C | @ 23:12, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Shall I take the delete tag off now since we've already started to re-write? Cordless Larry 14:12, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
