This does not include poor writing, partisan screeds, obscene remarks, vandalism, fictional material, material not in English, poorly translated material, implausible theories, or hoaxes; some of these, however, may be deleted as vandalism in blatant cases.

- deletable under the A# criteria for pages that merely repeat the name of a subject
- They have a channel on YouTube (URL=http://www.youtube.com/user/antmjc) with a few subscribers - definitely not notable, suggest PRODing it.
- Unless a quick search reveals a notable company, there is no assertion of notability so could be deleted as nn-company or so short as to give no context.
- Has meaningful content. Should be A7, no content or no context, assuming author's had time to expand. I wouldn't bother doing a Google search for an empty article.
- I'd delete this under A1. Even if there was context, Google is telling me that this is someone's YouTube channel, so it almost certainly is not notable.
Balloonman's analysis
[edit]G1 is not appropriate, as virtually everybody agreed.
A1 is not appropriate as the subject is clearly identifiable.
A3 is a possibility as the article doesn't have any meaningful content.
A7 is the best option because it clearly makes no attempt at indicating importance or significance. I would, however, look to see how long the article has been in existence. If the article was just created, I would give the author a chance.
Unless it is a vanity article, keeping an A7 article that attempts to be encyclopedic for a few days does the project no harm---so giving the article a few minutes or hours doesn't hurt the project either. Biting a newbie author, who made the mistake of writing his first article in the mainspace and not his user space, can chase away a potential asset to the project. Overly aggressive use of CSD can cause just as much, if not more damage to Wikipedia than the worst vandal.
