The result was delete as failing WP:WEB, specifically that it does not assert, show, or cite how a web site is notable (other than its traffic, which merely means that it is in the news). Bearian (talk) 18:14, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Article sited ranking numbers, so that's a claim of notability, I guess. But the criteria at WP:WEB have nothing to do with rankings. Also, totally unreferenced, so there's no backing even for the rankings stated. Giving this a chance at AFD instead of Speedy, in case I'm missing something.

  • keep - major playor in the "widget" market [1]. Artw 23:47, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment: I just noticed that the competitor referenced in the NY Times article, RockYou, does not have its article. Does it matter in this discussion? --Kushalt 14:24, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
Not really, though I'd guess it would be an oportunity for a new article since it has a similar level of notability. IIRC It's actually the more popular source of widgets on myspace and the like. Artw 17:14, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

  • Delete Even by their own statistical reckoning, their notability is in doubt. No notability asserted. scope_creep (talk) 15:10, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep and create articles on applications of similar or higher notability. --Kushalt 02:31, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
