[edit] Elektronikticaret.org

From WP:PNT, been there since Decmber 5th with consensus that it is of little worth. Discussion from WP:PNT follows. Jamie ^{(talk/contribs)} 00:06, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Turkish. Is this spam? Lectonar 15:47, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

• The site name means "electronic commerce". I haven't been able to figure out if they actually sell anything though. It appears to be a place to discuss SSL encryption, data, and other actual e-commerce sites. In the end, yes, it is an advertisement. TheKMan 15:54, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

RE: Is this spam?

• It is not spam per se, it is an "information bank" of sorts by their description and after checking it out for a bit I'd probably agree w/ that description ... I clicked some links on the website, and I don't think they're actually selling anything. There is no fee to register/sign up for the website. The site has a 'mission statement' section, and in a nutshell, it says that the website is a service to facilitate communication between companies that are new to E-Commerce and companies/employees that have been around the block and therefore have advice to share/give. There is a discussion board section for users to post questions to each other. There's also a section with some informative articles on the nature/dangers/benefits/etc of E-commerce, an FAQ section, an advice section, a 'news' section, yada yada yada ;)

--> there are two Turkish Wikipedia pages on E-Commerce (just searched to see if there were any, and two came up, and they should be combined though), both just defining and explaining what "E-Commerce" is, etc etc.

• • http://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elektronik_ticaret
  • http://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elektronik_Ticaret

the source of the second one (w/ the capital T) is a Turkish Government website, so that is probably legit info. My suggestion would be to combine these two sites, and then make this Elektronikticaret.org site an external link at the bottom.

Even with this info (thanks everyone), I'd be still inclined to list this on AfD. Suggestions? Lectonar 08:40, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Well, it could be worth translating, expanding, and Wikifying. But I have the feeling that if it were listed in AfD, it wouldn't be missed since there are no other pages linking to it, and the only users that would be interested would probably perfer the Turkish Wikipedia. I'd give it a few more days for the full two weeks. — TheKMan^talk 19:36, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
