++What's the difference between this and Amazon.com and the other 20+ businesses that have entries? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Annpiacini (talk • contribs) BlueValour 01:55, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Comment Amazon has an annual revenue of USD$8.5 billion, is a Fortune 500 company, and is the 15th most visited website on the planet. In short, it's quite a bit more notable than Herolocker. hoopydink^{Conas tá tú?} 01:47, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Comment That's true about Amazon, but what about other privately held companies in Wiki that have revenue listed less than USD$1 million, are not fortune 500 companies, are not heavily visited, and are not generally news-worthy?

• This was my first foray into Wikipedia and placed the article out of ignorance. I see now that it does in fact violate policy and would agree that it should be deleted. However, as a first time user, I doubt I'll be back as the posts here are fairly mean-spirited and not welcoming to newcomers. Wikipedia users must view themselves as an elite insiders club. signed by annpiacini and yes I haven't figured out how to include my signature, but doesn't matter really, does it?

• Comment - I am sorry that you are upset but I understand because it is never nice having your first article deleted. People are generally friendly but here on AfD the workload is high so sometimes the comments can be a bit robust. I also acknowledge that there will be many other companies on here that probably shouldn't be; it is a matter of us finding them. To sign put ~~~~ after your message.
