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)
  • DO NOT DELETE: I do not feel that your evidence to support a deletion of this page is valid, therefore, a deletion would conflict with the rules and guidelines of the Misplaced Pages:Guide to deletion. I suggest that you further review your accusations before making such rash decisions. This "masavolvo" to which you refer can simply be explained by the fact that it is MASA and Volvo. Two separate entities. MASA refers to the name of the organization while Volvo refers to the claimed sponsor. Byrgenwulf, you seem to be using your own opinion as opposed to true evidence to have this page considered for deletion. I can also assure you, Dhartung, that this page has never been entered into any blogs as a discussion prior to this. Also, the information on this article has much to do with the claims and stories from the website. It is sourced, and therefore none of you have any real grounds to propose deletion to this page.

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. Byrgenwulf 13:05, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
