[edit] Zorpia

Zorpia (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) - (View log)

This article fails to demonstrate Zorpia's notability per WP:WEB and Zorpia's claim of 4.6 million members is not verifiable. Also the domain zorpia.com was blacklisted earlier for spamming Wikipedia. See AfD talk page for details A. B. ^(talk) 23:05, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

• Comment/Delete. One, the AFD talk page bot is frightening. I was involved a bit in the removal of blacklisted stuff on this page for like, one day, and I get a comment... Two: Nothing is really verifiable. Besides the obvious lack of sources, which demonstrates lack of notability, most of the stuff on pages like Zorpia or Facebook is likely original research or from a primary source, the website itself. Third: Even if the have 1/10th of that estimated number of members, they have more members than Wikipedia. We wouldn't get our own Wikipedia article. There are 160 thousand editors with more than 10 edits. Size of the population base might need to be taken as a statistic and not a measure of popularity... But yea, just remove the size and it might work. Fourth: The entire article has been changed thanks to User:Zorpia, which is clearly a Conflict of interest, and the references are just horrible for the stuff added: 3/4 are within the site itself (primary), and one might just be a press release (Didn't look).

  That wasn't a bot, my bad. User:Logical2u_Talk 23:58, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

  Sorry, that was me impersonating a bot by using the standard {{Adw}} template. When I look at it, the wording is a bit brusque to say the least.

  We only send the bots if you don't respond. --02:35, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete No references, no article. Melchoir 03:26, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

  Agreed: Delete it. No amount of cleaning I did seemed to make it anywhere like a popular article as opposed to spam. Viifog^Talk 12:52, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. What makes this site any more notable than any other social networking site ? Notability not adequately demonstrated. WMMartin 14:25, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
