Delete - Smells like self promotion.@Airplane Maniac: - This should have been a speedy delete or a proposed deletion. Not sure you had to bring this to AfD. NickCT (talk) 20:35, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't know for sure, being new here. I wanted to make sure that it was a true deletion, thanks! :)--AM (Talk to me!) 20:37, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- I guess you should give some reason for nominating this article for deletion. Currently, it is nominated for no reason. However, I'll vote for Delete as its written like an advertisement plus fails on WP:GNG. Hitro talk 20:45, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete as unambiguous spam. Joseph2302 (talk) 20:39, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The nomination fails to state a reason for deletion, which means this is potentially subject to a speedy keep. I'll assume, however, that the nominator's intended reason is lack of notability. Google reveals a small amount of press coverage of this 10-year-old charitable fundraiser, e.g. [1], but I haven't found enough to establish notability. I did stumble across a few sources referring to similar contests in other places [2] but again, I don't think there's enough in reliable sources to support an article. Unless someone else can provide more, this looks like it's headed for deletion. --Arxiloxos (talk) 20:46, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - for notability but also clearly WP:HOAX because I'm only one properly certified to rate humor in accountants, providing they are only from the Southern region. (We don't want things getting out of control.) —Мандичка^YO 😜 01:53, 23 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as multiple searches (News, Books, highbeam, browser and thefreelibrary) found nothing significant aside from a passing mention here and browser along with one thefreelibrary (press release, of which there were a few in browser). But unfortunately, no solid mentions even from local news. SwisterTwister talk 06:21, 23 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
