Possible advertising, but written by an established user who states there are enough references to make it notable SGGH speak! 15:44, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep, it's an FTC-endorsed site and the only one of its kind. Sarsaparilla (talk) 15:51, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:WEB. In addition, the sourcing is poor and I don't really see how it could possibly be expanded--as it stands the article is little more than a place to stick a link. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 15:53, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Neutral until there are reliable references. --Solumeiras (talk) 16:09, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete. Appears to be notable with the FTC backing, but is written like an advertisement. Of the sources, only one can be seen as truly reliable, the FTC site, and it's mostly in passing. The only other reliable site doesn't even mention the site, so is trivial, and the remaining two aren't reliable, being the site itself and a blog. In order for this to be kept, it would need to be neutrally re-written and provide more, and more useful, references. Hersfold (t/a/c) 06:27, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment Note also that there have been no edits since February 1st to address the issues brought up in the nomination and statements. Hersfold (t/a/c) 06:29, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep the FTC is sufficient sourcing, there is in addition a Washington Post mention [1], there is a major article on Inforworld [2] -- its listed as their blog, but its actually a column by one of their usual and respected editors. the service is notable, and the article is not very spammy.

  • REVISED Article significantly cleaned up. -- RoninBK T C 12:50, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
  • keep this is an important topic that has much confusion around it —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cnull (talk • contribs) 02:42, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
  • keep I have not reviewed the original article, however its present revision provides useful information in affirming the site's legitamacy and providing information to those who are interested yet hesitant about the site. Yoooder (talk) 04:38, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
