[edit] Melbourne IT

I don't find Melbourne IT noteworthy enough for Wikipedia and the article to me seems more like an advertisement. RobertM 21:13, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep. Could certainly use cleanup, but I think it's noteworthy as a commercial .au registrar. It's also one of the larger domain name registrars, if I'm not mistaken, though at around #5 or #6 on the list, it might be borderline for notability. Shimeru 21:34, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep. The history of it taking over domain registration in Australia from Robert Elz makes this article notable in itself. --Bduke 23:01, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and cleanup. Listed on the stock exchange and its role as a registrar makes it notable enough for mine. Capitalistroadster 02:41, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought Melbourne IT was the sole registrar of the .au domain (or maybe just .com.au) until auDA (.au Domain Administration) took over in 2001? Certainly a notable part of internet history in Australia. --Canley 02:58, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep per Capitalistroadster, subject is notable as a commercial registrar. Yamaguchi先生 23:44, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep A notable company (As per comments above) + listed on the Australian Stock Exchange.Rafy 17:08, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
