[edit] Hi5.ro

Hi5.ro (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Fails WP:WEB, also obvious WP:COI. Nothing to back up notability other than a few random traffic stats which don't satisfy web. Speedy declined, here we are. Crossmr (talk) 03:43, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Delete per nomination and a lack of anything notable. Travellingcari (talk) 05:49, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Comment copied from the talk page: Hi there, I am the one who made the page for hi5.ro . I am new on wikipedia and I find the whole mechanism very hard to use. I cannot even find out if here is the wright place to answer to the deletion proposal of my article. I found out that some user proposed: "Delete per nomination and a lack of anything notable" As I understand there is some problem with the nomination... I don't think so! How can I speak about hi5.ro without pronounce HI5? This is the title of this website and is real! It was established 4 years ago and it has some history back... This website exists and this is a good reason to enter the greatest "pedia" in the world. Wikipedia is the greatest "thing" about EVERYTHING! Who is the GOD on Wikipedia? Who can tell if some existing thing is or not enough important for other readers? And after all, hi5.ro is important for 100,000 romanians and europeans. Please check out the List of social networking websites ! Here you will find some social networks with less users... You know what I think? I think the user who proposed for deletion the article about hi5.ro has his own reasons or interests. He is not a good wikipedian. That's what we are thinking, me and other 100,000 users of hi5.ro . Thanks for reading this.

  • Delete as a non-notable website - though, if 100,000 Romanians from a population of 22 Million are using the site, there might be some (minor) notability - if there are reliable sources to justify it (articles, news coverage, so forth). I see no evidence of that, though. UltraExactZZ Claims ~ Evidence 13:37, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment I'm beginning to get a whiff of COI issues, am leaning on a friend who has some rudimentary Romanian to confirm my search results. IN addition to the clear violation of No personal attacks :( Travellingcari (talk) 13:54, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. Well-used, but not notable as we currently define it. Serious WP:COI issue. The creator admits to being owner of the site in the very article. Bearian (talk) 15:53, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
    • Comment oh wow, did I miss that. And to think I was trying to get this confirmed. Travellingcari (talk) 16:13, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per lack of significant coverage. Being listed on a directory/alexa is not enough Corpx (talk) 08:30, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:N, lacks significant coverage (although appears popular, if sources can be found this should be kept). Bearian's observation that there is a WP:COI is not in itself a reason to delete.-h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 12:20, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
