[edit] Peekvid.com
I believe this article, Peekvid.com should be deleted because the previous article named Peekvid was deleted and protected by Administrator JzG as it violates A7 of WP:CSD. There is no need for another article as I do know there is a few people that are recreating the article under different names due to the protection of the other (e.g. from Peekvid to Peekvid.com).

- Comment: Consensus can change; previous decisions are not necessarily authoritative, especially not speedy deletions. The nomination appears to be based on the previous deletion alone, and is thus flawed in my opinion. -- intgr 11:02, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
- Clarification: The criteria for speedy deletion is based on the article itself, and not the subject of the article. CSD A7 states that the article does not establish notability, not that the subject is non-notable. However, the notability of the current article is debatable at worst, thus does not fall under CSD A7 any more. (Sorry for posting three comments, I can never get all my thoughts together in a single run :) ) -- intgr 11:47, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
- Keep: The article seems to have merit and establishes notability of the subject. (Even though the author violated the consensus on his previous deletion review of peekvid, recreating this article instead of one in his user space: Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2007 February#Peekvid, presumably out of ignorance on what the administrators were telling him). -- intgr 11:42, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. CNet wrote about it in June, Google News has a few current mentions, and Alexa has had it in the top 1000 since the beginning of the year. The article's no great prize, but that's cause for cleanup, not deletion. William Pietri 11:54, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
- Keep Notability established via articles at cNet (per above) and RealTechNews and by news story run by NBC15 (Pensacola, FL). Caknuck 17:26, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
- Keep Peekvid is a major file-sharing website that last week was in the top 300 on alexa. It has been down for a week but it is now back and at 500ish. Major website, news stories, millions of users, pop-culture phenomenon et cetera. David Spart 19:10, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
