[edit] Suggested Vox (blogging platform) Merge

The Vox article should be merged into this. Ideally there should be a short paragraph describing each service, and Vox doesn't have established notability. Shii (tock) formerly Ashibaka 01:52, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

No Merge. Six Apart is the company that makes Vox (blogging platform) and the article should be about the company, not about each product. I feel that Vox is notable to have its own article as do Movable Type, TypePad, LiveJournal, etc, same with a few other 6A products. Likewise, Automattic is the parent company of WordPress (and other products) which have wikipedia articles. Jerm 05:11, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

I think that unlike those other articles, Vox is not notable enough to have its own Wikipedia article. WP:WEB-- Vox is mentioned as one of Six Apart's services in several articles but never alone. Shii (tock) formerly Ashibaka 03:40, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Vox is notable... a quick google search shows many sources dicussing Vox. [1][2] [3][4][5] and so forth. Alexa has vox being 1,365. Jerm 04:37, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

The only reliable source among those is Wired. WP:WEB requires multiple published sources, and that's only one source. Shii (tock) formerly Ashibaka 05:54, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Well why aren't these notable sources?
