Singapore Paranormal Investigators[edit]

Non-notable local group. There are also no reliable or verifiable sources. Prod was contested. JLaTondre 11:09, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Article doesn't state importance of the group, and it's non-notable. GrooveDog 12:12, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Fails WP:ORG, WP:V. Only 87 G-hits on a directed search [1], and the article has a strong flavor of WP:NFT to it. Pictures around a candle and Youtube videos of their "investigations" sound a lot more like they're Ghostbusters wannabees than anyone serious. RGTraynor 13:16, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Comment withdrawn. Delete supported. Research society not associated with the "Singapore Paranormal Investigators" company anymore. The article would well be deemed as an advertisement for marketing and profit. Uranium2k 16:29, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: First off, that's all very well and good, but none of it falls within Wikipedia policies and guidelines about article retention. Which elements of WP:ORG do you claim this society fulfills, and where are the sources that WP:V requires? Secondly, Uranium2k contributions to Wikipedia are overwhelmingly in this article, and in creating numerous redirect pages to it. RGTraynor 03:38, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. This article was deleted[2] by David.Monniaux earlier today with the summary CSD:A7 (no evidence of notability) + complaint on m:OTRS. It was then re-created 20 minutes later by SPI Kenny (an account[3] established just before the new version created). I have re-added the AFD tag to the new version as this debate was never closed. -- JLaTondre 21:02, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
comment.The newly edited is the correct details that's given out to the public then the previous one.Here is the details of SPI Singapore Paranormal Investigators (SPI) the website http://www.spi.com.sg / http://www.spi.com.sg/forum .

Delete Seems apparent that someone has changed the article for self-advertisement. The mention of "Kenny Fong" is obvious and insignificant. Furthermore, the majority of the article is identical to the one which was written earlier. If the previous article was due for deletion, this new article should go as well. 218.212.190.216 22:22, 4 June 2007 (UTC) — 218.212.190.216 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Delete "Singapore Paranormal Investigators" is a profit-making company in Singapore, no longer associated with the original Society. Since it is a business, advertising itself here becomes a breach of policies. Deletion hence supported. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Uranium2k (talk • contribs)

Delete: The newly published article by Kenny Fong is not authentic. First of all, it is not a research and investigation organisation, but a registered company in Singapore, bearing Company registration number 53086560B. Secondly, the arsenal of gadgets previously featured under the Society do not belong to the company anymore, hence the article is misrepresenting facts which are untrue. I fully support the deletion of this article.Dashingblue 16:54, 6 June 2007 (UTC) — Dashingblue (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

Delete: An added comment: the company seems to use the article for advertising of its "Ghoulish Trails", which, despite the founder possessing a Tourist Guide license (which is unknown if it's expired), are not held in accordance with the Travel Agents Act (Cap 332) and regulations of the Singapore law, as the company does not possess a valid Travel Agents license. All in all, the article appears to be advertising its tours and recruitment for agents. Uranium2k 16:56, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: no proof of notability in available the article or in my online search. That said, I disagree that the article is speedy-able per A7 as "has gained much international media attention" constitutes an *assertion* of notability. -- Black Falcon ^(Talk) 05:35, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
