[edit] BusinessSeek.biz Business Directory

I would support a speedy delete but the speedy tag has been in place for a while, maybe AfD would be a quicker end if we can show a consensus. Non-notable website +/- spam. Ifnord 16:37, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

I am the website owner and I don't feel my link should be deleted. I have added my site to the Directories List - right where my site belongs. I see it's up for deletion because it's commercial - so are other directories listed there such as Yahoo (I have provided over 10000 free links to the internet community). My site is a useful resource for members of Wikipedia and I would appreciate it if my article isn't deleted. I am also open to suggestions on ways I could make my article Wikipedia friendly? Any help would be appreciated. At the end of the day the category is called "List of Web Directories" exactly what my site is - a directory. If my link is deleted so should all the directory links be deleted, plus the category, because that means you cannot add directories to this category - therefore rendering it a useless category. Hope someone can understand, that category is for directories - regardless of whether the listed is submitted to by directory owners. —Preceding unsigned comment added by BizSeek (talk • contribs) 26 December 2005

• • Yahoo is a notable web directory, millions of people use it. This is an encyclopedia not a phone book, sorry. Ifnord 22:40, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete not a notable website. --Pboyd04 02:46, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, not notable / advertising. — mark ✎ 11:36, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
