::Nice try. It's "sourced" from a Geocities webpage. Which mentions nothing about Volvo (I clicked on all the links, listened to the sing-a-long, and had a good laugh). Maybe masavolvo is over-interpretation on my part (if not, I do find it funny), but what does this lot need money for? What projects have they undertaken? ''Why, if Volvo is giving them money, can't they even afford a couple of bucks a month for proper webhosting''. I love the joke, I really do, but a free webhosting page which reads like a joke is not a verifiable source. Anyway, guidelines to deletion for vanity require third party sources; this page mentions none. ] 13:05, 19 July 2006 (UTC) ::Nice try. It's "sourced" from a Geocities webpage.

Mothers Against Swearing Association

Non-notable... Two google hits. (Can it be speedied? Haven't been around these parts for a while.) Mrtea (talk) 06:18, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete "sponsorships by Volvo and Coca-Cola" is a tenuous claim of notability, but this fails WP:WEB and WP:V. -- Scientizzle 06:20, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Note: I moved this page to its current title from a non-standard one earlier today, so if it gets deleted, don't forget to also remove MASA (The Mother's Against Swearing Association) and its talk page. -Goldom ‽‽‽ 06:22, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as hoax. I'm pretty sure this made the blog rounds last year and got laughed at. --Dhartung | Talk 07:54, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, fails WP:HOAX (or at least WP:V). --Coredesat talk. o.o;; 08:31, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete, if hoaxes can be speedied. I'm pretty damn sure it's a hoax: the URL for the website is "masavolvo", which makes me think it's South African: "ma se ..." (pronounced "mah sa", meaning "your mother's...") is a common preface to an insult here, and I can only assume "volvo" refers to vulva. Which means someone is no doubt being funny (and I love the humour), but it is not really debatable whether it should be in an encyclopaedia as a real organisation or not. Get rid of it. If it becomes a renowned and appreciated hoax, maybe it can come back in an article about hoaxes. Byrgenwulf 10:40, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
