Article was speedy deleted with G11 as a reason[1], though I contested the speedy deletion tag [2] and explained my reasoning on the talk page. I requested undeletion from the administrator who deleted it and am now listing it here to get more opinions on the article. Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 10:53, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment, my original reasoning for contesting the G11 speedy deletion was:
    • "G11 is for pages which exclusively promote a company, product, group, service or person and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic (emphasis mine). The article is written in a reasonable style and does not read like advertising to me. If deletion is wanted, this should go to AfD instead, because the question here might be notability (although I cannot say anything about that), which definately is not a speedy deletion criterium." --Cpt.

  • Speedy delete G11: reads like an advert to me "Another interesting aspect is the impact which the ActiveRain Real Estate Network is having on a single industry despite a small user base" and the like. --Pak21 11:15, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Speedy delete G11 advert. Note: contributors consist of single purpose sock accounts promoting activerain.com. There's even a link to their feed-back page under "Contact Information". As for notability, its a newly created site which are inherantly non-notable.--Hu12 13:41, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
