From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I contest that the reasoning for the speedy deletion ("it is an article about a person, group of people, band or club that does not assert the importance or significance of the subject") is incorrect. I believe SwapAce does not fit into any of the [person, group of people, band or club] criteria. The closest being group of people, if that, then I believe its significantly large enough to warrant it being important as it has 150,000 registrations. Apart from that, it is also referenced by other sources including magazines, the Australian government and various other media.

[edit] New Note

I am not quite sure how wikipedia works, but from my breif reading on the policies, wouldn't the following awards and accolades be significant to warrant representation? For example, there are a number of independent sources that have recognised this as being significant (e.g. the Australian Government, business magazines, prominent competitions). I would think that receiving a governement grant and being recognised as one of the "top 10 coolest comapanies" in all of Australia (by a respected source) would be something that would be remembered in the future.
