[edit] Fairwaylife

Prod removed. This article reads like an advert and no claims to meet WP:WEB are presented. 33 Ghits for "Fairwaylife" doesn't help. Last paragraph is an ad for Quickform, an article I've prodded for similar reasons. Scientizzle 21:44, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

  • Strong Delete per nom. Tevildo 22:13, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep I've fixed it up so it doesn't read like an advert. I don't feel notablity is a problem. Wikibout-Talk to me! 22:14, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment Your cleanup really helped the POV problems, but will you elaborate on why you don't "feel notablity is a problem"? Thanks, Scientizzle 22:18, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
WP:WEB says "The content itself has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself."

[1] [2] [3] There's three mentions. I've changed my vote to weak keep, but I still think it is notable enough, if barely. Wikibout-Talk to me! 22:33, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

    • Thanks for providing those links. I disagree that they apply, though--#1 & #2 are basically yellowpage listings, not really meeting the "subject of [a]...non-trivial work" clause. I'm not sure about #3 because I can't translate it to find out what it actually says...it might work, but I just plain can't tell. -- Scientizzle 22:46, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete with all due respect Wikibout, the WP:CORP and WP:WEB guidelines for notability discard things like the links you have provided as they cannot be seen as independent. Pascal.Tesson 13:26, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, misses WP:WEB by a fairway (sorry). And "www.fairwaylife.com" only gets 4 ghits, one being thte site itself. Inner Earth 22:14, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

The two first links posted are indeed "yellowpage" listings. There are more pages linking to fairwaylife though that are not indexes and not an act of the owners, but they are just links in a list of other noteable sites so maybe they don't count. The third link is very interesting. Its from the Swedish Golf Federations Official website saying "New Golf Portal, some history, talks about current features, the ambitions of the site." The topic of the article is "all about costa del sol" and the golf portal fairwaylife is aparently the only site found worthy of mentioning for that headline. --Widjet 18:03, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Where do I submit paperback articles? --Widjet 18:03, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
