Expanding on this. Basically, most of the keep votes had nothing to do with the article. ConMan has a good summary of what I'm meaning to say. It's a weak consensus to delete it, but it's consensus.

  • keep, because it's important to have a directory of projects using creative commons licensing. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Zumodekt (talk • contribs) 23:48, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
    • User's only contributions have been to the article, this AfD, and adding it to a list of projects using CC licenses. Confusing Manifestation 14:50, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep – their ideas at openbusiness.cc are pretty good. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 87.0.221.95 (talk • contribs) 23:57, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Maybe it's good to have a directory of such products, but Wikipedia is not the place for that directory.Confusing Manifestation 14:50, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep - these new businesses are promoting a new way of doing business. We are assisting a cultural revolution and it's important to document it.Mattias

  • Keep. Looks notable, and the article appears to have been cleaned up since the nomination. Madd4Max 14:31, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. A brief skim through the website highlights the number of artists signed. Google shows enough notability (~53,000 hits). Article looks fine. — 199 19:40, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment Over 98% op the hits come from MySpace.com pages. Koffieyahoo 05:10, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment I am sorry Koffieyahoo but what you say is untrue. google "beatpick myspace". it returns 12000. 53000 minus 12000 is 41000. also there are only 3 myspace links on the first 5 google pages. Joan
      • Comment You are aware that google filters out hits for a single domain where there are lots of them? If you do a search on BeatPick and go to the 25th page with hits on them, you'll get a message that only 248 are returned because the others come from similar domains. But, yes okay, the 98% might be a bit overstated.-- Koffieyahoo 02:43, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
