[edit] Timway

Non-notable company, no claims of notability. Corvus cornix 03:31, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

• Weak delete, unless certain changes are made to the article. In the talk page, the original editor hinted at some notability with its rankings in terms of Hong Kong-specific search engines. However, those aren't backed up with citations. The article is a keeper if good sources can be found for those stats, and if they support the assertion that it's a major player in the Hong Kong search industry. As the article stands now, though, the assertion is not properly expressed in the article. —C.Fred (talk) 03:44, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. I think it qualifies as a speedy delete because it "does not adequately assert notability". Hu 06:56, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete "Timway" gets only 97 non-duplicate GHits [1]. Chinese name is 添達, which gets only 202 GHits [2]. Their founder's Chinese name is 俞添/Tim Yu(too common to be a useful search term), but his name plus his search engine's name gets only one page in either language [3][4] What's weird is that despite the lack of notability, I see lots of trivial mentions in the same breath as Yahoo and Google. Incidentally, I use their web directory a lot, and I'm pretty surprised by the complete absence of independent coverage. cab 08:10, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
