Talk:Can Stock Photo

Contested deletion
This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because Can Stock Photo is a prominent organization within the microstock space, as one of the founding companies in the field which today has almost half a million members, over 30,000 worldwide photographers, and almost 20 million images. All facts were cited in the article, including creditable 3rd party sources. It is used in popular media as cited, including BuzzFeed, and a source for TechCrunch, among others (all cited). For photographers especially who work within this space, it is a major content provider for many.

The absence of this company in Wikipedia is very notable, as similar companies (including many who are smaller and certainly less influential) are all represented, and many are notably lacking the same sources or support for importance. Similar companies include: 123RF, Bigstock, BrightQube, Depositphotos, Dreamstime, Fotolia, Inkd, PeopleImages, Pond5, Reflexstock, Samphotostock, SnapVillage, IStock, Shutterstock, Stock.xchng, Stockfresh, Stocksy_United

If Can Stock Photo does not have the required credentials and references for being considered relevant, than certainly many of the previously mentioned articles should be removed as well.

Are there any specific point(s) in the article that require further citations or can be improved?
 * Buzzfeed and techrunch are not reliable sources for notability. Weegeerunner (talk) 21:27, 20 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Are you sure about that? I've dropped the speedy for the minute so we can discuss (or we can do it at AfD). Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  21:31, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

This article is a single advertisement of CSP. The content of this article is theirwebsite blurb that has been slightly wikified.

Most notably, the information of the limitations of the use of a purchase is missing. Maikel (talk) 08:28, 26 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Agree. This article should not have been uploaded without more reliable citations. There appear to be none of any value other than on blogs. They are given copyright credit for illustrations in a few publications, otherwise they are not mentioned at any length. Jamesmcardle(talk) 08:38, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

Can Stock is not part of Shutterstock
I am writing from the Legal Department at Shutterstock to request the removal of any mention that Can Stock was acquired or swallowed up by Shutterstock. This is not the case. Shutterstock did not acquire Can Stock. This is mentioned in the Dissolution section of the article as well as the Fate section in the box on the right. 70.23.242.131 (talk) 17:07, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
