Locus Suspectus

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Unreliable sources and not found on Google except for on Facebook - the website is just some blog with the F word written everywhere. Whenaxis (talk) 00:30, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Target website is a keyword-stuffing linkspam site. I'd raise this to the level of CSD A11, but the spam isn't immediately obvious from the context of the article. All I can say is the title is accurate, suspect location indeed... -- RoninBK _{T C} 04:48, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete As said above, the target appears to be a linkspam site, without any indication of notability whatsoever. -- Dreambother (talk) 13:58, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: if this article is removed, the redirect Locus suspectus should also be removed. -- Dreambother (talk) 14:03, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete According to this the magazine folded in 2008. Obviously someone picked up the lapsed URL and are creatively spamming us. The spam noticeboard should be notified--I'd bet this is not the only article with this linkspam redirect. As for the original magazine itself, it had a short lifespan with apparently no third-party coverage. I think this could be speedied. freshacconci talktalk 20:38, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- The website is currently a spam website, but that likely just means a spammer picked up an expired domain - nothing creative there; the article/link were in good faith at the time. That said, I agree that if the magazine folded in 4 years then that's a good sign that it's not notable. Quarl ^(talk) 06:06, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
