[edit] Sonico.com
No evidence it passes WP:WEB. As pointed out on the talk page this article was created only 2 months after the site was created and it seems the alexa rank was "bought" by putting well known sites in the sonico domain space. Blogs are rarely reliable and don't establish notability, even the techcrunch article admits no one has probably heard about it. Crossmr (talk) 15:12, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
- Speedy delete per CSD G11. References are very weak and don't have much to contribute to notability. Article is written like an advertisement and appears to be blatant WP:Spam (subsection headers cleverly used to make marketing points).--Pgagnon999 (talk) 16:47, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
- Strong keep Alexa ranking and quoted articles prove that it is very notable. The fact that two of the references are in spanish, doesn't make them less valid than the single english reference from a well known website. Crossmr do you have citations proving your allegation about how they achieved a higher Alexa rank? The Techcrunch article in itself makes the site notable, the contents of the article itself have no weight on notability. --Xero (talk) 15:51, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
- Alexa ranking doesn't establish notability, see WP:WEB. Quoted articles are blogs and are neither reliable nor do they establish notability. As for the ranking it was simply a concern raised on the talk page of the article, so I was mentioning it here as it seems like a legitimate concern as one of those sites has a ranking around 5000 just on its own. Combine those all in to one site registering all the traffic and its easy to put your ranking high. But as I said its immaterial. Alexa ranking is no longer recognized for notability.I see no evidence of significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject.--Crossmr (talk) 16:02, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
