[edit] Spynot

Sure looks a lot like advertising to me. If the product is notable -- it gets a lot of Google hits, as can be expected from a product of this type, but I have no idea if it's something that deserves an article of its own. As it is, though, this doesn't establish notability or anything else -- like i said, sure looks a lot like advertising to me. -- Captain Disdain 16:50, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

It mentions a commercial product but that's not unique for Wikipedia. In fact, it references competing products that are also listed in Wikipedia- specifically the 'Anonymizer'. If this page comes down, would the Anonymizer page come down as well to keep editorial consistency? Why hasn't the Anonymizer been deleted previously if mentioning a product is reason for deleting a page? The editorial standard has already been set for this issue, and the mere mention of a product doesn't mean that the page must come down.

• Good point. Merge these articles under the single heading of anonymous proxy. -- BD2412 ^talk 18:39, 2005 Jun 22 (UTC)
• Ooh, I really like that, BD2412. That's a good merge. -- Captain Disdain 01:09, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
