[edit] FreeCycleAmerica

Non-notable website: Google returns circa 500 hits for the organization's name and only 21 for the parent organization (which has no content on its website). Nothing links to this article. Website has not, as far as I can see, received any significant media or foundation attention. Che Nuevara: ^{Join the Revolution} 16:44, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:WEB. Alexa ranking of 5,107,137 [1]--TBCTaLk?!? 01:51, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as non-notable. It is simply too young and they haven't made a notable impact. I hope that changes, but not just yet. Ted^Talk/_{Contributions} 02:49, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy redirect to Freecycle Network. Dpbsmith (talk) 13:31, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
• Comment Whoa! This is tricky stuff. Freecycle Network has and deserves an article. AFAIK it doesn't have or need much in the way of a central website. It is basically a meme that self-propagates through people setting up Yahoo Groups, using a suggested set of boilerplate rules. I'm completely baffled as to what the relationship is between FreeCycleAmerica/FreeCycleEarth and Freecycle Network. That needs to be clarified. If it's a non-notable little group using a similar name, then it should be deleted. If it's a splinter group from Freecycle Network, it should redirect to Freecycle Network and a line or two about them should be added to Freecycle Network. P. S. I occasionally participate in the local FreeCycle. It's a Good Thing... although I must say it's a little bit freaky to give your name/address/phone to total strangers so they can drive to your house and pick up stuff. P. P. S. As Bob Blue once said, "Let's save the world... and use it again!" Dpbsmith (talk) 13:31, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
