[edit] MyTestBook

WP:CORP OscarTheCat3 21:14, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

As far as I can tell, this article is nothing more than an advertisement for a website service. I orignially requested speedy delete when the page was listed at Online Practice Tests. Please see article talk page and article history for records of the debate between myself and the page author. OscarTheCat3 21:14, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Fails WP:WEB. Arbusto 21:20, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy delete as WP:CSD#A7 WP:WEB, unremarkable Web content. —Caesura^(t) 21:35, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

OscarTheCat3, you asked me to change the name. And that's what I did. I also explained why I wrote this article. This article is not any different from other Math web sites i.e. Math_Is_Fun listed in similar catrgories. Spnashville 23:14, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

• If you want the article to be retained, the most productive course of action would be to explain how the company meets our notability criteria for Web content. —Caesura^(t) 03:11, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete No indication that this meets WP:WEB or that this is anything else than spam. As for the fact that some other articles also similarly fail our criteria, this may very well be the case and anyone is free to contest their inclusion and nominate them for deletion as well.

Caesura, Can you please see if the updates meet your expectations? Spnashville12:14, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

• Well, the article no longer qualifies for speedy deletion, but the subject of the article just doesn't seem to meet any of the WP:WEB criteria. Is it the subject of multiple non-trivial, published, independent works? Has it won a well-known, independent award? Is the content distributed through a well-known, independent venue? Keep in mind that if the article is deleted now, it can always be re-created when the site reaches these standards of notability. —Caesura^(t) 20:46, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. Notability, the site is a top-76,841 website according to Alexa (not bad for a K-12 test website). Site is listed in DMOZ and various school websites all over the world. It has been published in various local news atricles since its inception. On a school day there are over 14,000 visitors. The site is well respected for its content.

• Strong Keep. I dont know about others but our school uses this site a lot. We are part of a poorly funded public school and rely on this kind of free but quality resources. TheTeacher05 18:14, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Spammy article does not present independent evidence of notability.Edison 21:22, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. This is a very popular and useful resource in my school district. I have quite a few friends all over Canada who say that they use this site regularly. Quite a notable site. khuranamonika 18:30, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
