[edit] PRWeb News

Non-notable company, only 267 unique results in google. Also, this whole article reads like an advertisement WinHunter ^(talk) 03:41, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

• Comment Unique hits are only filtered from the first 1000 on Google, so when the total is larger they're not significant. This site has 8.6 million total hits Fan-1967 05:07, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
  • I am not so sure because the site itself can produce most of those links. Also, even if it is notable the current form is still a advertisement? Furthermore, some of these text are directly copied from it's homepage. I think if anyone wish to write an article about this they better start from scratch. --WinHunter ^(talk) 05:46, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
  • I concur with WinHunter regarding the site producing its links. Keep in mind this is a PR/new-release-distribution service, which says to me that if they can't get a few million hits by spamming a bunch of websites, then they would be truly incompetent. I submit this is another case where raw Google hits should not be used as the final arbiter of notability, where the type of hit is more important than a big number.

• Delete as advertisement. Also copyvio for taking material directly from PRWeb's site here. Question of meeting WP:CORP obscured by the fact their press releases are as widespread as one might expect from a PR company, though I am unable to find any third-party non-trivial articles about the firm. I also diffidently note a pattern of edits to contributor RobertMc - he starts in March, 2006 with a series of edits concerning Atlantis or Atlantis-related topics until July 21, 2006, when he makes one non-Altantis contribution. This the PRWeb article. His next edit is back to Atlantis. Tychocat 10:21, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above --Musaabdulrashid 12:09, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
