[edit] Merged from the old `Talk:Jaiku' page
I believe that Jaiku is an emerging community that is comparable to Twitter. It has importance to the online community, as it is used by radio, tv, podcast and web celebrity Leo Laporte. This article is just like one comparable to Myspace, as many people use it (not as much as myspace). I ask you to recind your deletion request, as it does not seem to apply. However, I welcome a more in-depth explanation of the policy.--Laaabaseball 04:24, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] pronunciation?
Does someone know how to properly pronounce Jaiku? Is it the same as Haiku? I think this would be a helpful thing to add at the top, — Rdjones 21:54, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] hangon
This is no ad. I am on Jaiku and many people complain about there not being a Jaiku page. If someone could do this right then it will help, because this article needs to exist Laaabaseball 04:43, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
- One thing is that possibly show some sources pointing to that. It's just a blog and anyone might put anything about it. Possibly let an admin make the final decision of the page. He'll/she'll decide if this page stays. --esanchez, Camp Lazlo fan! 04:45, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Article lacks WP:A to establish WP:N
Wikipedia articles must be based on reliable sources to establish notability, and the author has not provided any ... without them, this is just original research, which is prohibited by official policy.
The author has removed the {{db-spam}} tag placed by another editor (twice!) without offering any real improvements to the article, so I have restored it as {{db-web}}, which is more appropriate ... read WP:3RR and do not remove the tag again. —72.75.73.158 (talk · contribs) 04:56, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] I am disappointed
I am disappointed there is no real jaiku page. Are the people who run Wikipedia really this out of touch with the "reality on the ground"? I came here hoping to learn what jaiku was about, after reading the article about Twitter, and was sorely disappointed. Cbreitel 15:37, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Jaiku deserves a page
It's new, but it at least deserves a page.

- So why don't you make this argument at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jaiku.com? —68.239.79.82 03:13, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] cleanups to references
I have added {{cite web}} templates with |accessdate=2007-05-10 for all of the references provided by the author and other editors ... I also verified all of the URLs as working (and not being in violation of WP:EL) as of today ... not that I think that this really helps establish WP:A for WP:WEB, but at least they are all in a consistent format to better judge their qualifications as WP:RS ... which none of them do, IMHO ... "I'm here to repair it, not to defend it." :-) —68.239.79.82 19:04, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Google
Thanks to all of you who supported the keep nomination of the Jaiku article I created. I guess it really was notable!
I think now we need to move this article to Jaiku from Jaiku.com. Laaabaseball 05:21, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
- I don't really see that. I don't see a single argument for keep on that AfD that addresses notability in any way laid out by WP:WEB, in fact I see a lot of arguments based on methods no longer accepted by the community (e.g. WP:ILIKEIT, whataboutarticlex, googlehits, etc. etc). Unfortunately I don't see a source used outside of those from Jaiku which meets WP:V, per the discussion at: Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#Techblogs, which means there are zero reliable secondary sources currently used in this article and no sources on which to base notability. Even if they're now owned by Google, notability isn't inherited, and we require significant coverage by multiple reliable sources, independent of the subject.--Crossmr (talk) 04:48, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
Good, it got moved. Laaabaseball 10:06, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
