[edit] SwapitShop

Blatant advertisement for the site in question. The site does get quite a few Google hits, so it may actually be deserving of an article. However, I'm completely unfamiliar with the subject and hunting down Google hits that aren't teenagers in net forums going "ne1 no how 2 hack in2 swapitshop plz plz plz" seems very difficult, so I can't do it myself, and I'm not at all convinced that it meets WP:WEB, anyway. Hence this nomination. Obviously, if I'm entirely wrong about SwapitShop's notability, I'll be happy to withdraw it -- supposing that someone rewrites it so it's no longer an ad, that is. -- Captain Disdain 14:43, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per my own nomination. -- Captain Disdain 14:43, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - notable or not, it's clearly an advertisement, first person and all. PresN 16:08, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete w/o prejudice as advertisement. Smerdis of Tlön 16:26, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as spam. No assertion or evidence of notability. UK ghits are underwhelming [1]. The site itself [2] looks underused, with 8357 items up for "swapping", a drop in the ocean versus the likes of ebay. --IslaySolomon 16:37, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. spam -- Steel 23:01, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
