In , there was a debate whether pinging is canvassing. In the page , WP:CANVASS I couldn't find that pinging is canvassing, but in AFD or any other deletion discussion, one editor pinging other editors sharing the same POV is considered canvassing.

There should be a consensus whether pinging the Delete voters or Keep voters is considered canvassing. --Marvellous 15:00, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

@Headbomb: Amazon links are not spam, and that is not what is being asserted. Amazon links are being spammed/abused by people who write a book that is available on Amazon.com and that provide a link to that book here; the situation is akin notable (in ) porn sites, the larger publishing houses, and examiner.com - none of them are 'spam' themselves, nor 'spammed' by the site-owners (well, generally), but abused by random editors, wrongly used by other users, and spammed by people who want to promote their own work. That is then being combined with the plain fact that most of the Amazon.com links are not needed but better replaced with neutral sources (especially the ISBN). Comparing again with porn sites, the larger publishing houses and examiner.com, only for the larger publishing houses there are no proper replacements (even for the really spammed items on those). --Dirk Beetstra 10:23, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

As different arguments and end result may apply to each sister project, I have listed them separately, in alphabetical order. Please give a reasoned support or oppose or join the discussions!

I think this is too early. Why not first make sure people experience and then discuss it like 4 weeks in ? That will give people a much better chance for an accurate assessment. —TheDJ ( • ) 10:25, 14 April 2017 (UTC)
