[edit] PicBin.net

RNot found on Google or Alexa. External links have been added to various relevant articles (which I have removed) so this is highly likely to be pure spam. Blowski 17:33, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete pure spam - Blood red sandman 17:40, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
  • New website, launched within the past 48 hours. Should article be deleted until Alexa/Google has indexed the pages? PicBin is non-profit. -- Bradcis 19:25, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - There's nothing in WP:WEB that distinguishes a non-profit site from a profit-making one, and regardless this still doesn't pass WP:WEB by a long way. ~Matticus TC 18:30, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Yes, it should still be deleted, regardless of business model. Please see WP:NOT for an explanation of what Wikipedia is and isn't. Rather like people who describe themselves as cool, if you need to write a Wikipedia article about yourself, then you probably don't qualify to have one. Blowski 18:28, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
PS - just as a suggestion, a far better way of grabbing traffic would be to write a blog on your site with interesting content about photography. Places like Technorati will pick this up, and if users value your service, they will start using it. Also, search for terms like 'photography' on Google, and contact the owners of those websites to discuss putting links on their site.
  • Delete, wait until your site is popular enough to warrant an article and then write one. Recury 19:30, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
