[edit] Baynote

Falls far from WP:WEB; only claim to notability is having a few notable customers, but notability is not transitive. — Coren ^(talk) 09:48, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

• Delete The lack of reliable sources for this company is a major conern here. Moreover, a google search shows up no reliable hits for this company. --Siva1979^{Talk to me} 15:25, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

• Comment:; I followed your google search and noticed very notable sources. BusinessWeek, ZDnet, and Forrester Research to name a few. — toronkusu

• Keep — this is a company rather than a website, so I don't think WP:WEB applies. Instead WP:CORP is more relevant. There are quite a number of external references to the company that can be found by a simple Google search [1] and I have added some. — Jonathan Bowen 15:52, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

• Comment:; well, it's a company providing web content. I don't think it meets WP:CORP any more than it meets WP:WEB anyways— what little coverage there is is either trivial or press releases. — Coren ^(talk) 16:16, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

• Comment:; As previously stated, BusinessWeek, ZDNet, and Forrester are hardly trivial sources. The company seems to be applying socio-economic principles mentioned by the books cited in the posting to their technology. — toronkusu

• Delete as spam, CORP issues. Not everyone with a 800 number is noteworthy. Pharmboy 01:33, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

• Comment:; This statement is unfounded. — toronkusu

• Weak keep, sources seem just enough to establish notability. the wub "?!" 10:52, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
• Keep website recommendations are a important trend all over the globe and people are researching it. Moreover, it provides real evidence of how collective intelligence and behavior are being used effectively. The MIT & Businessweek references, and customer proof points, provide enough notability. mjsvatek 1:31, 28 July 2007 (UTC) — mjsvatek (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
