Advertisement, Spam and fails WP:NOT. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lord David (talk • contribs).
- not spam or an advertisement and doesn't "fail WP:NOT" just because someone declares it does. 13 mention mentions listed at [1] and 43 more claimed here, would seem to have a reasonable case for meeting WP:WEB, just needs improvement. (this is a keep for people who only see bolded words) --W.marsh 21:28, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
keep I think this nomination is bad faith, I mean:
Worth1000 is one of the most popular sites of its kind and has served more than 5.5 million distinct visitors in September 2004. They have also been featured in many different publications, TV shows, and radio including PC Magazine, Popular Science, Good Morning America, BBC, CNN, New York Times, Weekly World News, Detroit Free Press, TechTV, USA Today, G4, Inside Edition and many others.[1]
of course that's notable, I think someone just lost a contest and is having a hissy fit they didn't win! Owlofcreamcheese 21:44, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- Comment The authority for that is the website itself. The sentence should be removed as unsourced. Since all of the other references are eiher produced by the site itself or liked to it, this is a Delete as COI. This does not mean a proper article could not be written; it does mean there is no sourced content worth preserving, DGG 01:36, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- Keep, assuming the list of media references in the second paragraph is correct. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 22:00, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- Keep well-referenced article on popular site. FCYTravis 00:58, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- Keep, article could use some touch-up, and references should not be to a "list" of references, but huh? 100+ Google News Archive results is a pretty good start. --Dhartung | Talk 01:06, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- Keep Site mentioned in NY Times and ZDNet. Notable. --Pixelface 08:22, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- Keep Meets WP:WEB notability. There's an article about it in UK newspaper Metro and a mention of the same site in The Sun. The site's Photoshop competition is world-famous. --Canley 09:16, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- Comment Needless to say, this is what it smells like, a WP:POINT nomination. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PhotoshopContest.com and Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/PhotoshopContest.com. User began editing Wikipedia with linkspam in this article, was probably creator of PhotoshopContest.com, argued keep on its AFD, converted to present username and came over here to start this nom. --Dhartung | Talk 11:13, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
