[edit] Indian Online Classifieds Industry

Prod was removed. Sending here for review. Image:Monkeyman.pngMonkeyman(talk) 05:33, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment Would we also have a United States Online Classifieds Industry or a Canadian Online Classifieds Industry? For that matter, would we ever have a Brazilian Healthcare Industry article. I'm not sure this warrants an article by itself. If anything, shouldn't this go under Classified_advertising? Image:Monkeyman.pngMonkeyman(talk) 05:37, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. I feel that a whole article devoted to analysis of this or any of the other examples given by Monkeyman is unnecessary, and might even violate WP:OR, even if some of the companies do meet WP:CORP/WP:WEB (I don't plan on checking, as that has no relevance to my reasoning). "List of Indian online classified sites" would be bordering on listcruft, but that would seem a little more legitimate in comparison. --Kinu t/c 07:25, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge first section with Classified_advertising; NPOV and verifiable portions of the "review" section could be merged with individual companies that have articles, and any links should be internal. OhNoitsJamieTalk 19:10, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep I am the original author. I think the entire article including the look at the top classifieds sites in India that were mentioned in the article should be kept. The 10 classifieds sites mentioned are the most popular in India. If you have any doubt please talk to anyone who lives in India or is knowledgeable about Indian websites. The reason why the Internet and Internet usage in India is very interesting is that currently internet usage in India is at approximately 3% of population. The number of users increased over 50% from last year and is continuing to grow with improved infrastructure plans. By comparison, the percentage of users in the United States relative to population was 68.8% in 2004 and dropped in 2005. I believe a look at the Indian and Chinese internet industry is important over the short term. Bluesargam 01:42, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
    Commment The increase in Internet usage is noteworthy, but probably belongs in India or one of the broader India-related articles (Standard of living in India? Mass media in India?) I don't see how that supports the creation of an article about one specific aspect of Internet usage in one country. OhNoitsJamieTalk 02:08, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
    Comment I think online classifieds usage in India is an indication of this growth. But yes I agree with you that it is just one piece of the overall growth. Bluesargam 03:05, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge the NPOV content with Classified advertising. Most of the article is unencyclopedic, original research. Wikipedia is not Yellow Pages. utcursch | talk 03:34, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete I propose to delete this, as I dont think that such an analysis type article is necessary in an Encyclopedia. thunderboltza.k.a.Deepu_Joseph |TALK
  • Merge as above into Classified advertising if it is felt there are any India-specific points worth mentioning. Otherwise delete. ProhibitOnions 12:16, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per Bluesargam. --Siva1979Talk to me 14:15, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete No sources have been provided yet. Merge to Classified advertising if provided. - Ganeshk (talk) 23:19, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, unencyclopedic essay, totally unverified and full of POV. No need for this article, definite reason to WP:CHILL. Agree with possible merge of any WP-standard material into relevant articles. Deizio 18:26, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per above. mmeinhart 22:48, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep with cleanup of the POV plus provide sources.--Dakota ~ ° 08:50, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
