[edit] Google Watch Watch

not sure who nominated this. It wasn't me. But see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wikipedia Watch for a comparative article

• Delete - I am not sure how this one got nominated, but there we go. I don't think that this is notable at all, and all of the information can be included in Google Watch (indeed I think that all of it already has been). http://www.google-watch-watch.org/ is a 1 page article. It is solely made to document why Chris Beasley feels that Daniel Brandt was wrong to criticise him and wrong to criticise google. It is not a web site - it is an article. It has been in existence for what 2 years now and has not ever gone beyond being 1 single solitary page, whose sole aim is to counter a criticism made by Brandt against Beasley. Indeed, not only should this article be deleted off Wikipedia, but I really don't see the point in google-watch-watch even existing as a domain name. What a waste of $10/year domain name fees! He should have just written a post on a forum and be done with it. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 12:45, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete this article and also the Daniel Brandt article as well. Move it all to Google Watch. wikipediatrix 13:31, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
  • I agree. Daniel Brandt is not widely known by name. But Google Watch is. Google Watch is without question notable. There should be a small amount of background about the author of Google Watch, Daniel Brandt, but it shouldn't go beyond that.

• Merge with Google Watch. And PLEASE, let's not rehash the Daniel Brandt deletion topic again. CarbonCopy (talk) 15:22, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

• Delete before the watchers disappear up their own arses. Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] AfD? 15:37, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. 669 Google hits is not very many for a blog see [1]

No Google News hits at all [2].Capitalistroadster 16:55, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. It might deserve extremely brief mention in the article on Google Watch, but it's not a particularly notable site on its own (just one page!). *Dan T.* 23:58, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

• Merge with GoogleWatch and redirect as can be adequately covered there, SqueakBox 00:02, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
• Merge to provide alternate viewpoint on Google Watch article.  Grue  17:17, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
• Merge -- There's no compelling reason to ignore this facet of the Google Watch controversy, but this site is not yet sufficiently notable to merit its own article. Adrian Lamo 23:56, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with Google Watch. Jokestress 04:42, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
• Merge but prune(/remove the criticism section in particular) to avoid rehashing. --Alf ^melmac 12:46, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
