I'm going to say this is a promotional how to article more then it is an encyclopedia article. I'm not even sure where to start to be able to clean it up and it may need a complete rewrite to make it encyclopedic. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 18:18, 10 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I don't see the promotional part. AfD is not for clean-up. Are you invoking WP:TNT? Bearian (talk) 16:55, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The overall; tone is promotional in my opinion phrases such as "Telecom leases can be excellent sources of ancillary income, in some cases providing the landowner with thousands of dollars per month in annual rent." "The telecommunication industry is growing as the need for 4G and 5G networks flourishes. As a result of this growth there is a constant demand for cellular networks to increase their coverage" The footprint and fair market value are too. I initially watchlisted this and have watched it devolved to promoting telecom leases. Hell in a Bucket (talk)

Keep and fix. Results in GBooks indicate that this is a notable topic. If need be, the article can be cut down to a one line stub and rebuilt. Bringing this to AfD just wastes everyone's time and isn't compatible with our editing policy. I have rewritten articles that were much worse than this. Deleting this article will not result in improvements, it will just make the topic disappear. James500 (talk) 19:21, 22 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
