[edit] There (internet service)

Unnotable service - ranks 42,831 on Alexa. If it was a better quality article, then keeping it would be OK, but this article does not really discuss the technology, the pros and cons of the business model, or give a decent history of the service. Hence, either rewrite, or better, merge some of the content into a general article on this type of product. Blowski 17:30, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep and clean-up There is a well-known combination Net service/game. The article is rather horrible, and quite advertise-y, but there is certainly notability. Check out GameSpot's coverage for some news examples, or look at the Google search for "Therebucks", the online world's currency, which gets 10,800 G-hits and a respectable 272 unique hits. And here is an article on the service's launch from Wired, and another one from ZNet. -- Kicking222 18:08, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Re-Write - This may be worthy of inclusion, but as it stands it reads like an advert --Amists 18:13, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

• Comment - OK, I can see they are more notable than I thought. I will add a Wikify template instead. Blowski 18:15, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep this one as being rather notable. Arkyan 18:49, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Just beacuse an article is badly written is no reason to delete it, and this seems notable enough to warrent an article. Thε Halo ^Θ 23:12, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Needs cleaning up, but definately notable. Bradcis 23:16, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and clean up It needs some major cleaning up, but it deserves its own Wikipedia page. I use There and it is definitely a notable service. Just clean up the article some and i think it should be alright!! --Cookie 22:04, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - The article definitely needs work, but There's ranking with Alexa is hardly a reasonable criterion for deletion (see: Wikipedia's article on Alexa). There's technologies and business model both have unique strengths and weaknesses that warrant a separate well-written article. Jo Bleaux 23:12, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
