Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Online sales tricks
per nom and per decision in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Queen of Bollywood. One of the paragraphs is about Promotion (marketing)|promotions which are only a lure, and another one is possibly about misleading advertising. The term is clearly meant to be pejorative, and using the 'Blast' as an example of a trick may be |biased, as it implies it is done by sleight of hand whereas it appears to be just an example of Push e-mail. Furthermore, is there such a term as 'Online sales trick', and if so, do we have sufficient |reliable sources which clearly set out what this is by giving firm examples? Or was it coined by a journalist or author trying to make good headline? We have an article on Confidence trick and phishing, maybe we should first also try to have articles on sales tricks, sales ploys, sales tactics - second thoughts, no: we already have these concepts with promotions and misleading ads. This article appears to be a |synthesis of material where someone has mentioned sales trick and online retailer in the same breath, and would be an invitation for grievances of all people who feel they have been 'had' online. I don't find it the least bit |interesting or |useful (especially as #HOWTO|WP is not a "how to" or "how not to" guide), and I cannot for the life of me see how this is |encyclopaedic
