[edit] MyDataBus

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

This was originally deleted as CSD G11 spam. DRV overturned, in light of new sources (for which, see the DRV.) Still, weak delete, given notability and WP:COI concerns, pending other opinions. Xoloz 02:56, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete - Reads like an advert. All cited sources are either the MyDataBus official site or the MyDataBus blog site. A couple of internet reviews, one in Spanish, are the only secondary sources. No credible assertion of notability. Sheffield Steeltalkersstalkers 05:13, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete for the reasons given by SheffieldSteel above. If this hadn't just come from DRV I would argue that speedy deletion criteria A7 (no assertion of notability) and G11 (advertising) apply. While an article on this site that conforms to our guidelines might be possible if reliable, independent sources exist, the current article would not be much help in writing it. It is important to Wikipedia's credibility and mission that we decisively remove all spam and so the current rendition of this article should be deleted. Eluchil404 06:00, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. I don't think this article was ever "blatant advertising," but I toned down the promotional language slightly. The article is rich with factual information, and making myDataBus sound good is not a reason to exclude factual information. I think the WP:COI suggestion is unlikely, considering the large user base. myDataBus has about a gazillion reviews across the web, e.g. this and this. It is also connected to groups like Zoho and Zamzar, hence some spillover notability (e.g., [1], [2]). Also has decent Google hits and Alexa ranking, indicating a general high level of attention on the web. And over 100,000 users is not too shabby. — xDanielx T/C 02:48, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
I extended the "Press" section and added third-party references. Ollie990 13:58, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as non notable. If independent reliable sources are provided I will reconsider. Nuttah68 11:07, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
