Some company wants to delete their competition's Wikipedia articles ? Delete its own article to clear controversies ? :)
Somebody wants to try a sting operation , to find what kind of articles they want to delete ? Will be very interesting!

It would be instructive to know what articles they are worried about and why. I find that most people wanting articles deleted have a good reason and, while deletion may not be justified by Wikipedia's "rules", there are often problems with the articles that we ought to address.
People wanting articles created are a different matter - it is inevitably vanity or promotion.

I'm quite willing to contact them, afd each article on their list, and if consensus is that any merit deletion, I will donate the proceeds to the
WMF.
Don't forget all the corresponding "create an article for hire" posts.
For added entertainment, post that the article was a paid-for creation or deletion, and invite critique of your technique.
