[edit] LabX

Article about a specialist auction (and classified ad) website, was deleted after Prod and restored on request. I added the single source I could find that could be considered about the site (it covers LabX and two others). Two more articles are press releases, plus a passing mention (all from Newsbank). The cited Keskinocak and Tayur article is a passing mention and not about LabX, so WP:WEB and WP:CORP don't seem to be met. ~ trialsanderrors 18:20, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Comment - Added story from Wired Magazine (author is a senior scientist in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Washington). Also added reference to a recently released paperback book by Greg Holden being sold on Amazon. So perhaps this helps meet WP:WEB and WP:CORP. Kenpiech 15:26, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

 AFD relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

• Delete as per nom. Main claim for article seems to be that it services a particular niche market - but I don't see it how its particularly different from X other online auction sites serving niche specialist markets (I'm considering afd'ing Uship for similar reasons. Actually, Category:Online auction websites and Category:Online retail companies of the United States in general could use a uh... spam scan) - the obvious play (aside from regional/language specialization) for such companies surviving against the 8000lb eBay gorilla. References so far aren't enough to satisfy non-trivial requirements of WP:WEB, WP:CORP. Bwithh 18:23, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
