Solely promotional. Fails WP:NORG and created by likely COI/sock. 0xDeadbeef 07:56, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"COI/sock" and "solely promotional"? I think you need to reasonably prove both of these pretty heavy claims. RGBLight (talk) 08:39, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

RGBLight, If I was a good faith user with just above 100 mainspace edits, I am fairly confident I wouldn't know what "COI/sock" means. 0xDeadbeef 09:10, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Well it's good to see that you're already making personal attacks at this point and not meaningfully engaging with the content itself. RGBLight (talk) 09:15, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Note RGBLight is a CU-confirmed sock of D.C. at MAD Foundation Inc., a user with a declared COI with this organisation. Both accounts are now blocked. Girth Summit _(blether) 09:41, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This article had been moved into draftspace by MrsSnoozyTurtle for incubation before being moved back by RGBLight, now blocked for sockpuppetry. Scrutiny-evasion notwithstanding, the body of the article does more to promote the subject (such as [t]hey fund medical equipment for disadvantaged children afflicted with disability and MAD features in Australian media through [...]) than to establish its notability. —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 13:38, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete WP:NOTPROMO article by confirmed COI sockpuppet. MrsSnoozyTurtle 23:46, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Promotional and inadequate evidence of notability. Since they're willing to break the rules here, it makes me wonder whether they are willing to cheat donors too. --R. S. Shaw (talk) 00:56, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The creator, who had prior knowledge of WP:COI attempted to game the system by creating an undisclosed sockpuppet, instead of following the proper procedure by sending this to AFC. This is unacceptable at all costs. —CX Zoom[he/him] ^{(let's talk • {C•X})} 10:29, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
