• Strong Keep — Let me start by saying that I've been in the nutrition industry for 10 years so this is kinda my thing. Ediets.com easily meets WP:WEB criteria for notability, that is "The website or content has won a well known and independent award, either from a publication or organisation", at http://www.ediets.com/company/pressroom/awards.cfm you'll see its won "Forbes.com's Spring 2005 "Best of the Web" and a "Forbes Favorite" in the Diet and Nutrition category." for the third year, ""Standard of Excellence" WebAward in the 2004 WebAward Competition, which are produced by the Web Marketing Association", "PC Magazine selected eDiets.com its "Editors' Choice", "Nielsen//NetRatings has ranked eDiets.com as the #1 Most Trafficked Health, Fitness & Nutrition Site World Wide" etc. The company is publicly listed on the NASDAQ, and has an Alexa ranking of approx 3000. Hope this helps - Glen 14:52, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

• Comment, if the article is rewritten I will withdraw the nomination, but as it is it is still spam and is also Copyvio from http://www.ediets.com/company/ Nuttah68 15:20, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep the topic but refer to copyright problems. The subject of the article is notable, and I think it deserves an article. As noted above, though, it is a copyvio. —C.Fred (talk) 15:27, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Comment I cant believe I missed that (Ive tagged two other AfD candidates in the last hour or two for the exact same reason). I've blanked the article and tagged copyvio. I will try to sit down this morning and write at least a stub that isnt a commercial. I've left the AfD tag on the article, just in case for some reason it's found to survive deletion - then this AfD will remain relavant. - Glen 15:35, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep with rewrite to fix copyright problems. Leuko 19:11, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Glen's rewrite. As an aside, I humbly express my utter shock that this article was only written in June... As the most popular dieting website (according to my sources), I cannot believe it wasn't created a long time ago. Srose (talk) 20:00, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep with the new stub per GIen. Nickieee 07:30, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Rewritten

I have rewritten the article (just as a stub but it's a start) - it is located at Talk:EDiets.com/Temp. - GIen 16:38, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
