As we may see from the reference section that it only lists articles about lawsuits by ConnectU against Facebook and in my opinion that is not enough. The website must have a notability of its own and I think this is not the case with ConnectU. Northern 11:13, 24 August 2007 (UTC)"

ConnectU is in fact a notable website and company, and most importantly a known project. ConnectU's trade secrets, business plan, source code, all allegedly missapropriated by Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook founder), are the basis upon which the entire web 2.0 social-networking phenomena are built on.

The relative success of the project or rank of the website is not grounds for deletion. What is a determinant is the relative value, impact, or importance a given project may have had. ConnectU is inextricably linked to web 2.0 social-networking, Facebook, college dormroom internet startups, etc. The list goes on and on.
