Article about a website, which does not meet WP:WEB, additionally it would seem that the major editor to the article (User:Kbmiked) is related to the site (all edits are only to this article and adding links to this article, claims copyright to the site logo) - the article is being used purely for promotional purposes.

• this looks relevant and doesn't appear to be promotional —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.54.4.1 (talk • contribs) 2006-08-02 00:51:53

  Comment: users only edits are to the article in question and adding external links to the website it refers to. Thanks/wangi 23:56, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

• Comment:This looks like a cool thing. I think if people knew what it was they might make use of it and have some fun! —Preceding unsigned comment added by MarissaMAB (talk • contribs) 2006-08-02 01:25:36
• Comment: I've done some research and I found some articles on PlayCoed: http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=NWEC&p_theme=nwec&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&s_siteloc=nwsearchmain&p_field_label-0=Edition&s_dispstring=allfields(Child's%20Play?%20No%20Way!)%20AND%20date(all)&p_field_advanced-0=&p_text_advanced-0=(%22Child's%20Play?%20No%20Way!%22)&xcal_numdocs=20&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&xcal_useweights=no —Preceding unsigned comment added by MarissaMAB (talk • contribs)

  Comment User has no edits besides the article and its AfD. -- Kicking222 01:13, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

• Weak delete The site can definitely make claims to notability, but I just don't think they're enough to justify a WP article. It has an Alexa rank of around 36,000, which is not terrible but certainly isn't amazing; "PlayCoed" gets 11,000 Google hits, but only 121 are unique. -- Kicking222 01:13, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Egregious spam. Even if they were notable, which they aren't, it doesn't help that they have been spamming all over Wikipedia with links to their site are disengenuously making comments here. Question: if it was a 12-person accounting firm in Lincoln, Nebraska, or a 12-person machine shop in Lubbock, Texas, would we even be having this discussion? Granted, they have a product, but even so. Herostratus 04:02, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I am a Denver resident and I have heard about this company a lot through friends and news casts and radio in town. I have added some links on sports like Dodgeball and Kickball through this site, but I must say I don't know everything I should about wikifying something. However, I do believe this is notable content, being from Denver, but perhaps the larger discussion should be on sports social networking Web sites and the ones that are making improvements to the field of the sports industry. I will make it a point to learn all the processes and coding on wikipedia to help with this content. I need to register for an account too. Jason, Denver, CO 1 10:38, 1 August 2006 (UTC) I researched some social networking and sports community Web sites and will continue to do so —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.190.108.153 (talk • contribs) 2006-08-02 05:38:07

• Delete this looks like typical self-interest editing that is discouraged by the guidelines. JonHarder 19:56, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
