[edit] DreamHost

DreamHost (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This company is non-notable, they fail both WP:WEB and WP:CORP. The article needs to cite more sources. Delete J 16:53, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep. It hosts over half a million domains, and has been in business for ten years; it is one of the largest and most notable of Web hosts. *Dan T.* 17:15, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per Dtobias. I too have heard quite a bit about Dreamhost, and am sure it meets WP:CORP. --Gwern (contribs) 18:50 26 October 2007 (GMT)
  • Keep. It's in the top 15 hosting companies worldwide. In the future, please make an effort to discuss any issues at an article's talkpage first, instead of leaping straight to AfD. --Quiddity 19:42, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. --Neurophyre(talk) 20:09, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Apart from being one of the larger domain/hosting companies in the world, the company is notable for its unusual transparency (properly cited in the article). The suggestion that the article may not be properly cited is a little bizarre, to be honest. -- Scjessey 14:18, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep This article contains useful information for webmasters and for users. It is NOT advertisement.-- Alessandro Bottoni - Oct. the 29th. 2007 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexbottoni (talk • contribs) 14:57, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete it's spam!!!! nothing special!!! Yourname 02:58, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. No improvement since the last time it went to AfD (result: no consensus; see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bravenet Web Services). There's one independent source that I can see in the references, and that refers to a malware attack done through sites hosted by the service. —C.Fred (talk) 04:57, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. If the article needs to cite more sources, then add more sources. Burntsauce 20:38, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Business-related deletions. -- Gavin Collins 10:46, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. It is one of the largest web hosting and domain providers in the world by domain count [1] . Of course the article may benefit from some improvement. Nabbia 16:40, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
