[edit] 163.com

Delete and Merge with NetEase. Article has been around for a half a year, has no content, no real inbound links, site doesn't seem notable or has no indication of importance. Dbchip 04:18, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

Please read Wikipedia:Guide to deletion. Delete and merge are not compatible. - Mgm|^(talk) 10:49, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

• All we need here is a simple Redirect to NetEase. Saberwyn 04:40, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
  • I will also support a delete. Either way's fine by me. Saberwyn 08:49, 1 December 2005 (UTC) but not based on the arguments below. Saberwyn 09:57, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete mainly notorious as a source of spam. Dlyons493 Talk 08:25, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to NetEase. This is substub spam. - Mgm|^(talk) 10:49, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete this and NetEase as well - merely a couple of sub-standard websites. --Ezeu 11:05, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Ashibaka (tock) 13:45, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep This is the 10th most visited website in the world according to Alexa.com [1]. Way more popular than Wikipedia. Sumahoy 00:20, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy keep Please do some research before making nominations. Chinese people won't be able to vote to keep this because wikipedia is banned in China at the moment. CalJW 10:47, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
• Comment. Currently the Chinese article zh:网易 (I think that's the Chinese name for the NetEase company) is more about 163.com than about the company. Also unfortunately just a 小作品 (stub). Anyway, keep and expand as one of the most notable websites there is. Kusma (talk) 19:49, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep The world's tenth most visited website is certainly a highly notable subject. The article needs a rewrite but should definitely be kept. Cool3 22:12, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Kappa 03:55, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
