Merge to Spamming. Hyperbolick (talk) 22:48, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I received notification that this article was being proposed for deletion, and upon reviewing its history, I can see that I started the article in Wikipedia back in 2004, although I don't remember it. I lean slightly against deleting it now. Although I can see it still lacks references, a Google search for the term yields 17,000+ results, a number of which are are legitimate news or information articles. For example, the SORBS spam blacklist uses the term in an article on "Basic Spamfighting." I think the fact that the article has existed for 15 years without a previous proposal for deletion also suggests that it is worth keeping. However, I don't feel strongly about this. If the article is not going to be kept, though, I think it should at least redirect to Spamming. Sheldon Rampton (talk) 05:47, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

+*'''Keep'''. I received notification that this article was being proposed for deletion, and upon reviewing its history, I can see that I started the article in Wikipedia back in 2004, although I don't remember it. I lean slightly against deleting it now. Although I can see it still lacks references, a Google search for the term yields 17,000+ results, a number of which are are legitimate news or information articles. For example, the SORBS spam blacklist uses the term in an article on "[http://www.sorbs.net/spamfo/basic.shtml Basic Spamfighting]." I think the fact that the article has existed for 15 years without a previous proposal for deletion also suggests that it is worth keeping. However, I don't feel strongly about this. If the article is not going to be kept, though, I think it should at least redirect to [[Spamming]].
