[edit] Mediabids

Advert This is clearly an ad. Interlingua talk 02:35, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom and per non-notability —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Adambiswanger1 (talk • contribs) 12:06, Jun 22, 2006 (UTC).
  • Delete - non-notable, read WP:WEB. TrianaC 02:51, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - it sounds like a cool idea, but I can't tell how widely used it is. The company claims: "To date over 8,000 business consumers (advertisers) have registered on Mediabids.com to purchase advertising space to market their business and over 3,000 newspapers and magazines have registered their print publications to sell ad space." If a significant number of those who have registered actually do business on the site as a result, then Mediabids would be notable. TruthbringerToronto 03:32, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. Decoding from PR-speak, that sounds to me like "We sold classified ads to 8,000 customers." I think the New York Times probably manages that in a week. Fan1967 03:59, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete as per nom . corporate marketing is all about "cool ideas". Bwithh 01:47, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as non-notable both as company and website. "References" are to PR releases dressed up as news. Author User:Lisamedia is invited to read WP:VANITY for an explanation of why this isn't appropriate here and won't help your company anyhow. --William Pietri 04:35, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete, fails WP:WEB. --Coredesat 07:26, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong delete, WP:WEB. Alex traffic rank: 79,774. The coverage of this available via google appears to be press releases. Both the links supplied have their source as PRWeb. It's an advert, and most of it is copy and pasted from: here. Make of this what you will, but... the article's creator is User:Lisamedia. A bit of googling turns up this, containing this tasty morsel: Press Release Author = Mediabids.com, Lisa Cadan. It's a PR released posted on Wikipedia. - Motor (talk) 10:29, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

  • keep - this is an auction site that could shake up the newspaper industry—Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.222.52.204 (talk • contribs)
    • Comment, fair enough. When it does shake up the newspaper industry, let us know and we'll be sure to write an informative article about such a notable achievement. - Motor (talk) 14:08, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
  • keep it's a cool concept - and from the looks of things - they're having success in an arena that google didn't—Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.222.52.204 (talk • contribs)
    • Comment, dup vote/comment. - Motor (talk) 19:59, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
