Seems to have been created by Special:Contributions/128.59.84.28 for the purpose of linking to the two related external websites. Has had no substantial editing since its creation in 2005. Paid content seems to have been created for the same purpose but has had additional content added since. Should deletion not proceed, it will at least need a different article title (perhaps either Paid service or Pay service). Nurg (talk) 10:49, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

• Delete. An essay of original research, essentially a definition, and so general and vague that it gives you a headache trying to figure out what it is on about: Paid services are the not-free electronic commerce of digital services and information goods in digital media. Examples of digital media are for instance the world wide web or mobile media (SMS, WAP). Features of digital services are their usability, applicability and recoverability but not their exchangeability.... Paid services differ from paid content in the way that digital content can be passed on and be used by different individuals. Digital services can be characterized as a right which can be exercised, but not passed on without it being lost. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 20:30, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
