[edit] Www.fabsurplus.com

Article on apparently non-notable website with adcopy text.

Evidence:

• Tautological non-notability: URL of website returns one hit to article subject [1].
• Just fabsurplus returns 148 unique, and I found nothing substantiating notability [2].
• Link search returns 6 unique: [3].
• Google news=0 hits[4].
• Alexa rank = 2,450,280. [5].

Criteria: see WP:NOT, WP:WEB, WP:CORP and precedents.

Note that SDI Semiconductor Instruments is probably not notable as well, but this article is not about that company, it is the notability of their website that is at issue. Prod removed. Feedback on my new afd format (above) welcome.--Fuhghettaboutit 00:52, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Comment I checked the text before prodding. Can't find any copyright violation. The website that is the name of the article does not appear to contain the article text. If you can find that it is actually copy and pasted, please advise. Otherwise, I do not see any csd criteria this fits under.--Fuhghettaboutit 01:02, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Comment, though it is obviously spam, I removed the tag as it wasn't a copyvio thus, as Fughettaboutit mentioned, it does not fall under csd criteria--☆TBC☆ (aka Tree Biting Conspiracy) 02:59, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
