[edit] Phlist

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

A online classifieds advertising website with no assertion of notability. Newly created page, main results on english language Google are only to the site itself, and a blog by the creator about developing the site. Wongm (talk) 13:00, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete - I'm pretty sure this qualifies as advertising. TN‑X-Man 14:25, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete I find no results about it in Google News archives. I have no more objection to this article's style than to the similar organization Craigslist, but it does not yet seem to be notable. Perhaps there are sources in non-English publications not picked up by Google News. It could always be recreated. But Wikipedia does not function as a means of creating notability for new organizations. Besides getting the code to work for the site, the developer needs to get someone doing public relations work to get some newspaper coverage. Edison (talk) 14:43, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per Edison. No evidence of notability, looks like a WP:ADVERT case. Nsk92 (talk) 15:12, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
