Nomination withdrawn --Busy Stubber (talk) 02:51, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

This article began as an advert back in 2005[1] and is an expanding list of external links with no evidence of notability. I cannot verify that the company is related to eBay. Name-dropping in article (eBay and Gumtree) seems unrelated.--Busy Stubber (talk) 16:24, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep - article is about a very notable company and is owned by Ebay. I added a citation from a completely 3rd party in reference to the notability and that it is owned by Ebay. Yes, the article could be expanded on a little and wiki'd... don't know why it had to come to AfD... --Pmedema (talk) 17:20, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - [2], [3], [4], [5]. And that was only a 10 second Google News search. Busy Stubber, in the time you took to nominate this article for deletion you could have performed the same Google News search and incorporated what you found into the article, thereby improving the encyclopedia rather than bogging it down in unnecessary processes.

Sorry about that -- I searched eBay and Kijiji and Google, but not Google News. Thanks! Do you want to add the references or do you want me to? --Busy Stubber (talk) 02:18, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Gumtree/craigslist competitor owned by notable ebay. KellenT 20:22, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy keep --- Busy Stubber, can you strike the nom so we can close this discussion and move on? Per Rockstar, clearly notable, clearly verifiably owned by ebay. --- tqbf 22:56, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
I don't know how to strike the nom? Can you help? --Busy Stubber (talk) 02:18, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
Put <s> - </s> tags around your nom, and above it write "nomination withdrawn". Someone'll clean it up. --- tqbf 02:21, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
