[edit] ZetaBoards
Article is an advertisement and falls under WP:Spam HagenUK 17:18, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
- Weak Delete - I wouldn't call it blatant advertising (hence not eligible for speedy under CSD G11), but the sources cited are affiliated with the subject of the article, hence no evidence of multiple non-trivial coverage in third-party sources to establish notability per WP:CORP. Delete unless further sources are added by the end of this AfD. Walton Vivat Regina! 17:50, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
- I too do not believe that this was created for advertising. I contribute because people might want to know about ZetaBoards all in one website in one place instead of finding information all over the net! I will try to add more sources. - Titan602 20:08, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- Titan602 is one of the main contributors to the Zetaboards side and therefore entitled to voice his/hers opinion about the continuation of the article. My opinion (which might be wrong) from reading the article that it looks like a thinly disguised advertisement for a fairly standard product/service. This is, I guess, why the other tags were already assigned to it. Unless the article can be updated to prove notability and move beyond the advert/leaflet stage, I still think it should be deleted.

- There is a tag you can use instead of deleting it about advertising. I will add that tag now and delete the deletion box... - Titan602 16:28, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

- Delete, non-notable. Needs to show some coverage in independent, reliable sources. Please reinsert the afd tag. Removing it does not close the debate, and frankly leaving it on is more likely to help you. If there are users that look up the article about Zetaboards and they see the tag, they may wish to come here and contribute. - Aagtbdfoua 00:48, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
