The result of the debate was Rename — the article is of a reasonable quality and its subject is notable enough. The company's official name seems to be BigBlueBall.com, although the text of the site often just uses BigBlueBall. I'll move the article to BigBlueBall.com and create redirects to it. --Gareth Hughes 12:35, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Bigblueball.com
Advertising for a website with Alexa rank of 60,000--shockingly, not a porn site. Non-notable commercial website advertising. Meelar (talk) 20:45, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
- Pains me to say it but Keep, add {{advertisement}} tag and rewrite. "Bigblueball" gets 140k results on Google, 100,000+ posts on their forum from 1,000 active members. Just barely enough to be notable... based on that. Seems to be a somewhat computer-literate site so that can hurt an Alexa rank a tad... people are less likely to be using IE/Alexa. At any rate it meets the criteria of Wikipedia:Websites by having over 5,000 unique forum members (25,662). --W.marsh 21:40, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
- Shockingly not a porn site? Ouch. At any rate, I created the site; someone else submitted this entry. If it ends up not being deleted, I'd like to edit and add details. jhester
- Feel free to edit it now, that will improve the chances of it not being deleted. See here and here for some guidelines, but basically the article shouldn't read as an advert but simply as a description of what the site is. --W.marsh 21:57, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
- I've replaced the entry with factual material. It reads better and closely follows the guidelines. -Jhester
