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.

"Wiki"? Or how to stop it top-posting? (Technical ignorance.)

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.
