Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Phonebook of the World
Appearance
Pretty obvious linkspamming. There is already a link to the phonebooksoftheworld.com website on the Telephone directory article. An individual article on this website? Advertising, pure and simple. I bet the person writing the article is also the person behind the phonebooksetc.website. Worthy of deletion? Over to you. Jez 18:16, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
- Delete - Same user creates a second article called "Brigitte von Boch" about a woman who's problem is trying to call people in other countries. The solution? Phonebook of the World.

- (Invalid anon vote) Do not delete Brigitte Von Boch's story is how the site Phonebook of the World.com came into existence. The Phonebook of the World is an extensive site offering many resources with not only links to specific country internet phoneboooks but also with pertinent data/information about most listed countries (population, GNP, etc) as well as clocks that show the local time in a given country. -Scott (anon)
- Alexa rank is variable but never better than 30,000 and has spent most of the last few months not even making the chart. I was unable to verify any of the claims made in this article except that the website exists. Unless there is a whole lot more evidence presented, I'm afraid I also must argue to delete.

- (Same anon) Please keep This is the first time I'm writing an article in Wikipedia. I modified
the article to make it more clearer. It is a true story about a Lady that has helped many people every day to find phonenumbers.
