[edit] EyeSpot

Self-promo page to a for-profit company that was started in only 2005. No pages link to this. Clubmarx | Talk 05:31, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Weak Delete, site with Alexa rank 49,179, failing WP:WEB. Site claims to have been featured in some sites, but I am not sure if any of those are notable enough. Without this, fails WP:CORP. If anyone can correct my assumption that none of the sites where the product has been featured are notable, I am willing to change my vote. -- ReyBrujo 05:49, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Insufficiently notable. Zaxem 10:23, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Do not Delete. This is a factual article about a valid company offering a valid service in an emerging area of technology. The Wikipedia offers a disservice by denying a factual entry such as this one. -- frankatca 12:00 EDT, 6 May 2006

  • Wikipedia is not many things: not a search engine, not a index of "new-and-exciting" technologies, and not an advertising forum. Delete as failing WP:CORP. -- MarcoTolo 18:47, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
  • One reason Wikipedia can be great, is its potential for being timely with new, valid information, a criteria that might well be added to WP:CORP to improve it. Less than three months after coming out of stealth mode, GOOGLE now (May 8th) shows 756 links to "www.eyespot.com" and a GOOGLE search on [eyespot 'video editing'] produces several pages of references. Since this entry is factual and NOT promotional, and provides valid information, I suggest this one needs some time for the for the greater evidence to build that is recommended by WG:CORP. frankatca 19:22 EDT, 8 May 2006
  • Comment There are only 112 sites linking to www.eyespot.com, counting blogs and forums, according to Google. Although it may grow fast, as I always say, first notability, then article. It needs more time for sure. But first gather the evidence and then build the article. -- ReyBrujo 01:52, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
