This article is advertising and uncyclopedic in the worst of ways. Also it is extremely inappropriate for an encyclopedia. See WP:NOT. Jonathan321 (talk) 18:19, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This article is not a form of advertising since I didn't include any link within the article and it shouldn't be classified as uncyclopedic in the worst of ways. I hope you could accept my submission. Would you change the Title to Physical Gold vs Dollars that would help. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bill.chiam (talk • contribs) 18:30, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete This article is an essay, and a classic example of using Wikipedia as a soapbox. RayAYang (talk) 19:10, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. This is an essay that seems to say why one should buy bullion gold at this time. It hedges on being promotional - but per Bill, since there was no blatant advertisement within the article, it's not really spam. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 20:07, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment. I never said that this article was spam, I just said that it was advertising; not for a specific thing, but for investing in gold in general. Jonathan321 (talk) 20:28, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as per nominator, most everyone else. Edward321 (talk) 05:26, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Of course the article was written as a blatant promotion for a specific website; look at the links in the original article and the previous edits made by the original author. Regardless, there is nothing in the article that makes it worthy of its own article. Flowanda | Talk 06:45, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as an advert. We already have an article on this topic anyway, see Gold as an investment. --Phirazo (talk) 21:54, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy delete (G11) — this is blatant advertisement as shown by the consistent external-link spamming already done by Bill.chiam (talk · contribs) for a website http://www.goldtraderasia.com — which is the company he owns ([1])! MuZemike (talk) 23:24, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Further justification — the first paragraph is copy-and-pasted from his website right here. MuZemike (talk) 23:42, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
