[edit] Travelsupermarket.com

Travelsupermarket is a pretty small player in this market, and the article just reads like corporate PR. This article should be removed, though it could be included on a list of travel websites. Blowski 08:22, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

• This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 11:13, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep but tag for NPOV, as some of the article does read "like corporate PR." Rohirok 17:00, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete: The article is advertising, and advertising for an also-ran in the MySimon/Froogle world. Geogre 22:39, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. It has an Alexa ranking of 13,647 which is pretty good. —EdGl 23:41, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Not bad, I agree, but the article is advertising, which is a deletion guideline failure, and the company isn't so astonishingly successful that I feel moved to motion for it to go to cleanup. If we had gotten our first article on Expedia and it had been an ad, we could have confidence that any volunteer at Clean Up would have a strong enough idea to neutralize it. I think this sort of article, on the other hand, languishes or just gets wikifying at Cleanup, and that's not good enough. Geogre 02:31, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete: not important enough to be worth removing the corporate PR. --BobFromBrockley 15:09, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:CORP and WP:WEB. Alexa rank: 13,647. --Slgr@ndson (page - messages - contribs) 15:41, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep because the article is not advertising, there is no call to action and the article is similar in format to other articles for players within the same sector. Also, travelsupermarket is ranked 9th in its sector by Neilson netratings with a unique audience of 703,000 in June 2006 --194.159.99.60 09:07, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
