Not to fan the flames, but I see [[en:Virgin Unite]] is up at AfD... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Virgin_Unite
Uncyclopaedia or the Wikipedia Review are going to love this one.
1) We ask for donations 2) Virgin Unite offers donations 3) Virgin Unite creates an article on itself, totally above board, using its own name 4) Virgin Unite gets blocked 5) The article about Virgin Unite gets expanded, then nominated for deletion. (and, as noted, kept)
It's bad enough that an article about a major philanthropic foundation got nominated in the first place, but that it happened to be the very organisation that was that day giving *us* money. Jeez.
