Keep. No question about it in my mind. The artform of singing, as well as graphic lyricism, is shown in this man. He's a hero to other singers. Peter Ellis 05:25, 6 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

BidPay

An obvious advertisement; perhaps the business truly is notable enough to rewrite this into a decent article, but based on the reviews here they're pretty shady. —Miles ←☎ 20:54, May 4, 2005 (UTC)}}

350k+ web hits, and formerly known as Western Union Auction Payments (so probably often referred to simply as Western Union). Notable and obviously controversial, a real article in this space would definitely be a keeper. Samaritan 21:48, 4 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete unless article is rewritten with NPOV. Looks like the relationship between Western Union and BidPay is that they're owned by the same company. Thanks for fixing my template, Sam. —Miles ←☎ 23:33, May 4, 2005 (UTC)
Current version is a copyvio (and is now marked as such). I'm afraid I don't consider two bad reviews on Alexa to be much of a controversy - not even WikiNews material much less an encyclopedia article. But even if the controversy were more substantial, they are a very small subsidiary of First Data Corporation (the parent of Western Union). Any controversy about their services should be discussed there. By the way, most of those Google hits are false positives. Very many are comments at the bottom of merchant or auction pages that "we accept PayPal, BidPay, ..." Only a few are really pages about BidPay. Delete. Rossami (talk) 23:42, 4 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Of course, but their using it shows a sufficient form of notability, I thought. Samaritan 04:59, 5 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep after rewritten. BidPay is a popular service. Cookiecaper 00:53, 5 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and expand. Hugely prevalent service. Tens of thousands of eBayers can't be wrong. --Gene_poole 03:01, 5 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
