[edit] Freewebs

Non-notable free web host, fails WP:WEB. Delete Ardenn 00:47, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep - I have been wanting to edit this article for a while since I am a user of Freewebs. I do realize that it reads like an advertisement, but if you go to Freewebs, they actually advertise for themselves on their own website. And of course, stating prices and benefits that Freewebs offers does make it read like an advertisement, but I did name some negative aspects in the article. On top of that, I felt rushed since the article got marked for deletion. Please feel free to make edits. Thanks! --EMC 05:51, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy Keep - As of April 21, 2006, it ranks as the 351st most visited website on the web according to Alexa. It's in the top 500 of all websites on the Internet, if that doesn't pass WP:WEB, what does? --lightdarkness (talk) 00:48, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong keep, are you kidding? Alexa ranking of 351, 22 Google News hits, and probably one of the most notable free web hosts in existence. How in any way does it fail WP:WEB? --Rory096(block) 00:49, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, but this article could really do with some fix-ups. Looks a bit like an advertisement for the website. But this isn't "Articles for bias discussion," so that's a whole other discussion. —THIS IS MESSEDImage:R with umlaut.pngOCKER (TALK) 00:52, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and cleanup Keep per above, needs cleanup - right now it's just a wikified price chart. -Obli (Talk)? 00:55, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: I removed the pricing info, since that's not really encyclopedic and is subject to change anyway. I think its a good start to cleaning up the article --Hetar 01:02, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - Quite a popular webhost. This is going to be speedy keeped right? - Hahnchen
  • Keep and cleanup Freewebs is certainly notable and worthy of a Wikipage, but what exists currently isn't so hot. First off, it needs more info besides membership options and how to start a page. And second, I don't think the Alexa rank should be in the heading (or, perhaps, anywhere in the article). Aside from the fact that Alexa rankings change everyday (and the page won't be updated every day), an Alexa rank alone does not make a site notable no matter how high the ranking may be. -- Kicking222 01:53, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and cleanup as above. It is notable and meets WP:WEB, but having said that it could use some work. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 02:38, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy keep Meets pretty much any notability criteria you'd care to throw at it. A great many non-notable sites are hosted there, and way too many end up with articles here, but that in no way diminishes the significance of Freewebs itself. –Abe Dashiell (t/c) 05:41, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong keep per all above. ⇒ SWATJester Ready Aim Fire! 09:05, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep, Freewebs is a notable web host worldwide and meets all of WP:WEB criteria. We are talking about the Webhost having an article not about those non-notable websites. Alexa ranks do not mean anything all the time after all. --Terence Ong 14:50, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy keep per most above. TH 21:30, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep somewhat nn, but at the same time it's 351 on alexa, so... M1ss1ontomars2k4 00:30, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, per all above keeps. Also cleanup somewhat. Chris Chan.talk.contribs 12:10, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
