Talk:Superb Internet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page is a brief factual description of the company, in the same tone and similar format to numerous other hosting companies with the same brief, and often longer and more detailed and actually promotional, profiles on Wikipedia (e.g. Rackspace, Hostway, GoDaddy, Dreamhost, olm.net, and so on). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Realhj (talk • contribs) 21:20, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Notability

I replaced the notability tag for the time being. While I'll admit that there's a decent chance that this company is notable, the references provided don't quite show it. Quantity over quality was the end result—if the company is notable, surely there are better references than press releases and subscription-only data. —Hello, Control ^{Hello, Tony} 15:08, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

One only has to do a search online, or have some basic knowledge of the industry to know that Superb Internet Corp. is one of the oldest hosting companies out there (one of only two "original" web hosting companies still in business), has won more awards than any other hosting company ever (by its own counts, impossible to verify at this point in time as most of the award issuing institutions from 1990s are no longer operational). Talk to people who know the industry to verify. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.86.250.112 (talk) 17:09, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Then it won't be difficult for you to provide verifiable references from reliable sources that back up those claims. Talking to people in the industry is not allowed as a reference on Wikipedia—that would be original research. —Hello, Control ^{Hello, Tony} 17:22, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Ah, I see from your whois information that you are located in either Walley or Langley (according to this list—scroll to the bottom for the Shaw IP info) in the Vancouver area. If you work at Superb, I'm sure they must have an archive of all the media coverage they've gotten over the years; it would be a simple matter to browse through those clippingss and pick out the juciest ones to add as references. —Hello, Control ^{Hello, Tony} 17:33, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Superb's website boasts that it is hosted on it's own Tier 1 network, though when looking into it it is hosted on the HopOne Network, which buys transit. Misleading!!!!! -John Smith. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.228.118.99 (talk) 01:48, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
