[edit] Hemifacial Spasm Support

Brilliant website for people with HFS - it's just non-notable. Google shows around 32 sites linking to it [1] Casper2k3 04:41, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:WEB. Alexa ranking of 5,610,977 [2]--TBCTaLk?!? 04:51, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. MER-C 08:47, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. However - getting scared of arguments (& I am on the spam project) - putting the link on the article for this problem would not seem unreasonable? Nigel ^(Talk) 12:12, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete fails WP:WEB. Thε Halo ^Θ 14:18, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Though it might be a speedy delete since it is basically just a cut-and-paste job from other website. I put a copyright vio tag on it. Trnj2000 17:39, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, but add a link to the page from hemifacial spasm per Nigel. - Smerdis of Tlön 19:47, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
• ADD I am the webmaster for the Hemifacial Spasm Association website and I totally disagree with the comment that we are violating copyrights or are "basically just a cut-and-paste" website. The majority of the information on our website is member created, our member's personal experiences dealing with hemifacial spasm. Hemifacial Spasm is a condition, that due to being rare, often goes undiagnosed or mis-diagnosed by the medical community and many individuals find our site and take information from our site to their doctors to aid at arriving at a diagnosis, which obviously is the first step in treatment. Do to the need for kno/wledge and emptional support, our online membership currently has members from 26 different countries. If it is ultimately determined not to include us under "Hemifacial Spasm Support", then we would hope you would provide us as a link under "Hemifacial Spasm". Thanks

and after further reflection, I think Nigel's suggestion to add a link to add a link to the page from hemifacial spasm would be more appropriate. Thanks for your consideration.

• Delete, but add the link in the hemifacial spasm article. Seems to be a useful, non-commercial site. Fernando Rizo 19:01, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
