Greasypalm's member earnings total £2,743,433.22, how you can possibly say this site is "non-notable" astounds me. There are articles on wikipedia that are ALOT less notoble than this site.

There are similar business's listed on wikipedia and have been listed on wikipedia for a long time that are less successful in this industry than this business for example Rpoints.

The fact that you initially called this article crap leads me to believe that is why you want this article to be deleted rather than your claim that it is non-notable. This is a profitable, long standing successful business that has a presence on the web and a large userbase.Supposed 22:38, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

I have removed the deletion entry and below I will try and explain why.
  • Firstly this is not self promotion, I have created and submitted content to several Reward websites articles and it has been said that I am "self promoting" all of them, yet I would have to have a stake in all these companies if this were the case and that's unlikely.
  • Second quidco and rpoints are very notable, an article by Martin Lewis in The Guardian was dedicated to them but I am having problems finding the actual article and can only find references to it. I will try and use my uni newspaper subscription to find it.
  • Note that Paypal is a company, is highly notable in part because it's owned by ebay. Epinions is also owned by ebay, so forfills the same criteria. I also don't see why these websites should be any more notable than the alternatives offered above that are less popular at the moment because they don't have the weight of a large corporation behind them. I believe wikipedia is used to inform people in an unbiased manner
  • There is contraversy surrounding the way these businesses operate and there is little information about this on the web, certainly very little in an unbiased form.
First of all, this company is not anywhere near as well known as PayPal or Ebay. Secondly, this site is COMPLETELY NON-NOTABLE outside of the UK. The article certainly does not reflect a world wide view. Thirdly, it would be nice if that supposed newspaper article could actually be located. "I also don't see why these websites should be any more notable than the alternatives offered above that are less popular..." They are non-notable precisely BECAUSE they are "less popular" (Particularly outside of the UK, where most of the inhabitants of the world live.). Quidco and Rpoints are both also non-notable, and no amount of kicking and screaming will change this. Fuzzform 17:20, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
