- Comment: The AfD nominator has 26 edits in total and previously created Stay22, “a Canadian travel tech company, headquartered in Montreal, that offers affiliate revenue generation opportunities for travel bloggers and media”. They received a {{uw-paid1}} message after this creation. Both CV Villas and Stay22 are in the travel business.
I agree that the current version of the article has promotional content. But this is not a policy-based reason for deletion, particularly since the 25 May 2009 version of the article that I edited is neutrally written and can be reverted to if needed. Cunard (talk) 10:31, 23 January 2026 (UTC)
