[edit] Accoona

  • Delete Accoona is a spyware-like site. It is not what it claims. It has no own search tech as it claims, instead gathers search results from sites like Overture. Wikipedia is neither an advertisement medium nor a home for 'false claims'. --218.41.113.27
    • If you search with Accoona, and see the results, everything is linked through Overture, a Yahoo! site, so it is not what it claims.
    • I searched on Google for Accoona Clinton and Google suggested correction of spelling to Acoona, which means, Accoona is not a popular term in the Internet.
  • Keep If it really has Bill Clinton as a spokesperson, it's worthwhile to have an article about it. - Chris Wood 23:25, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep because (1) It seems relatively notable, and (2) Inaccuracies and being a "spyware-like site" are not grounds for deletion. It's not advertising, either CanadianCaesar 03:32, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and use improve or NPOV tags if necessary. It's not whether the article is bad, it's whether the topic is valid for the encyclopedia. DavidH 04:43, August 7, 2005 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep. Businessweek confirms Clinton, and [ChinaDaily] acknowledges some form of affiliation. I am rather leery of their "artificial intelligence" claims, though, and bringing the page up to encyclopedic standard would be a good. Eldereft 07:01, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Notable website, regardless of contemptible practices. - Thatdog 08:08, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Very interesting article -- but do ensure it has NPOV.
