No references can be found to support the claims in the article. - Jehochman Talk 03:53, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete - zero Google hits for the topic as presented. Was created by a COI/Spam only account, probably part of an Internet marketing scheme. - Jehochman Talk 03:54, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. From What is Your Site Yahoo! Webrank?: "It seems Yahoo WebRank was basically a rank assigned to a URL by Yahoo on a scale of 0-10 which was introduced as an exprimental feature on the Yahoo toolbar a few years back and now is no longer available as a part of their toolbar." Obscure and obsolete, in other words. Zetawoof(ζ) 07:35, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete I think a redirect to pagerank would be a good idea however. Law & Disorder 09:04, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect per Law & Disorder. Not noteable and superseeded by PageRank. ffm 12:58, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Yahoo! Toolbar if this even still exists - the Yahoo help page shows nothing. I'm not about to install the toolbar to find out (which would be original research anyway). Yahoo may have eliminated this (at least the term), in which case delete. CitiCat ♫ 14:44, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
i think more people would be searching for "pagerank" when they type in "webrank" then yahoo's toolbar. Seems that "webrank" would be a reasonable misspelling of "pagerank." Law & Disorder 17:38, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
No real argument. In theory there could be a disambig page, but I'm sure it's not worth it. CitiCat ♫ 19:55, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge and redirect to Yahoo! Toolbar. This was a briefly available feature with some credible coverage.[1] In that article we can dabnote to PageRank. --Dhartung | Talk 22:58, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
As it doesn't seem to exist anymore (that article was from 2004) it doesn't seem worth mentioning in the Yahoo Toolbar stub (which doesn't even list many of the current features). If someone ever felt like writing an extensive article on the subject, and included the history, then it might be worth mentioning. CitiCat ♫ 05:48, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge and redirect as this was a feature that did have some coverage, but not extensive enough to warrant its own article. SkierRMH 00:49, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
