[edit] SearchMash

Article is just an advertisement for somebody's search engine. Alexa ranking is 596,646. Non-notable. Dr. Cash 00:59, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

• Comment. That "somebody" is Google --Rubber cat 01:04, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. A Whois shows it is indeed owned by Google. Stev0 01:20, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep. Wow; I searched for myself on this thing and it gave me a picture of myself I'd never seen before. Anyway, a Google search (yeah, the irony) shows searchmash is getting a lot of blog coverage. None of them look like established mainstream press, but the searchenginewatch at least looks like a reasonable industry source. --Allen 01:43, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, or merge into a Google article. It is new, but notable. Tyro 01:58, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
• Merge & Redirect Wow. After looking at it more closely, I see it is owned by google. What about merging this content in with List of Google products instead of deletion? Dr. Cash 02:27, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. This is a Google technology. Just because it is debuting on a seperate domain doesn't mean it isn't Google. Maybe put it in some sort of Google category. A merger, as mentioned above, wouldn't be bad either. Maybe just a small subsection on the main Google Search page? WBHoenig 02:28, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect per Dr. Cash. Doesnt seem to warrant its own article, but should be mentioned. Resolute 04:14, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
• Merge to Google search. Maybe add a new section, "Technology testing". Michaelas10 08:39, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
• Merge to a Google article. It seems notable enough to keep. Shadow1 (talk) 16:43, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
• Merge per any of the above suggestions. Notable enough to mention, by virtue of being a Google site; not currently notable enough for a separate article (it can always be split out again in the event that this situation changes). — Haeleth Talk 17:21, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
• Merge with an appropriate Google page, as suggested above. --Maelnuneb (Talk) 17:44, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
• Merge/redirect to the parent Google article. Too new/unknown for it's own yet. · XP · 21:02, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
• Merge into Google. If it gets bigger, Recreate. People Powered 13:04, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Merge seems counterintuitive: the point of this site is to test it quietly and to disassociate it with Google Search in general. Furthermore, is it dramatically different from other Google offerings. Sean Hayford O'Leary 18:31, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. I created this article because, although new, it shows potential features of Google search in the future. Although I personally think that it deserves an article, I would be happy for it to be merged with the Google article. 0L1 - Talk - Contribs - 15:51, June 10, 2008 (UTC)

• Comment. For the record, I created the article; 0L1 created Searchmash, which I redirected to SearchMash --Rubber cat 19:08, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

• Merge to Google, as it lacks sufficient independant notability. - Tewfik^Talk 01:18, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
