[edit] Social Marketplace

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

Article fails WP:NOT#DIRECTORY, WP:NOT#REPOSITORY Hu12 (talk) 20:10, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Weak keep. Notable subject which could use an article. But this isn't it. Needs work. Quarterwit (talk) 20:21, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment There is a category Cat:Social networks which encompasses most of these, and more. The only reference in this article is a wikimirror at answers, a recursive reference! I'd agree that the article could exist. Yngvarr (c) 20:56, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

  • Delete. The term social marketplace does exist but the uses here are self-applied and not wholly congruent. This likely exists primarily to link out to "social marketplaces" that aren't notable enough for articles. Fails WP:NOT#DIR. --Dhartung | Talk 21:01, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. Maybe there would be room in Wikipedia for an article on "Social Marketplace", but it wouldn't be anything like this article, so we should dump this and if someone wants to create an article on the real meaning of a social marketplace, as shown by Google Scholar and Google Books searches, they can do so.

  • Delete. Per my nom. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, so many things that do not belong in an encyclopedia (such as this) are excluded or removed. An encyclopedia should, by definition, be encyclopedic, this is WP:NOT.--Hu12 (talk) 13:43, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
