Oh. Where it says above the edit box that ''Promotional articles about yourself, your friends, your company or products; or articles created as part of a marketing or promotional campaign, may be deleted in accordance with our deletion policies'', I kind of assumed we meant it. And that blatant puffs would be speedied by admins. Don't tell me that this has always been ex-process. Gasp!

Pretty much. Why do you think that [[Template:Db-advert]] was droped? Doesn't stop people from trying to tag stuff for speeedy with the reason being "advert" though.
Well, our deletion policies also cover AfD. I think that the first thing we should do is extend CSD A7 to explicitly cover corporations.

A corporation is a legal person so they are already covered. the Problem is that even the most incompetant PR person is going to include some aparent claim of noteability.

It has indeed. Or rather, one has to come up with creative reasoning when Mr Troll decides to spend the next three months debating it on DRV.
