[edit] Hiki

Hiki (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

And another wiki with no independent sources, no evidence of innovation, significance or market share. Guy (Help!) 16:51, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

• Keep Hiki was major wiki software for japanese website.--Sdf123000 18:54, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Out of thousands of wikis, this one does not assert its notability. Thanks, Codelyoko193 (T/C) 21:58, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Shalom (Hello • Peace) 02:19, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, no assertion of notability. Dekimasuよ! 04:24, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
• Weak keep:
  • Pro: An English Google News Archive search for "hiki+wiki" turns up 18 Japanese news items after filtering out spurious Swahili and Hawaiian hits. While I don't read Japanese, some of the sites are clearly notable media sites: ITmedia, CNET Japan, BroadBand Watch.
  • Con:A Google web search for English web pages containing hiki+wiki turns up just 370 hits
  • Con:The Japanese version of this article also lacks any refs besides Hiki's own web site

• Six of the top seven articles (the six in Japanese) are reprints or slight alterations of an Alpslab press release that only mentions Hiki once in passing - it's not the topic of the hits. The seventh article is in Finnish, which is Greek to me. Dekimasuよ! 05:43, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation. In that case, I think we should delete this article. --A. B. ^(talk) 05:54, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
