Delete spammy article about a web sports service - was originally tagged speedy for copyvio, tags removed pending permission being received, don't know whether it was, but this website in not notable Alexa rank of 14,232. Carlossuarez46 02:05, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Weak keep. This is as much a gut feeling as anything, but the company sems to be notable due to the corporate partners and events it webcasts. It reads a little like a news release, but I think this company is notable because of its affiliation with notable events. But this a pretty close call. Realkyhick 02:24, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - Seems to be an awful lot of red links for something that is supposed to be notable and "global". I'd nuke it for being a pseudo-advert. --WebHamster 05:43, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep Maybe a re-write with more corporate data.Mbisanz 06:01, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep - references establish adequate notability. — xDanielx T/C 06:49, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as WP:SPAM per Carlossuarez46. Lack of independent sources suggest notability to come. --Gavin Collins 11:26, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as WP:SPAM. Article created by single purpose account that also created a half-dozen or so related articles the same session, most of which have already been deleted. Precious Roy 13:09, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Weak delete or merge to Naspers? Current sources a touch iffy, and the concerns about COI and spam certainly warrant consideration. Only obviously valid and reliable source, the nytimes piece, is now inaccessible and makes no mention of the firm in the summary - can anyone confirm that it's relevant? Regardless, the article is short enough that it would make sense to merge it back into its parent. MrZaiustalk 07:44, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
