Talk:PayPoint.net

Hi,

This is my first article so I am not quite sure where it went wrong. I have edited a couple of things on the article so I hope it will now look better.

Please let me know what you think is wrong with my entry, and I'll edit it to reflect this. In terms of Google hits, what do you mean?

I look forward to your reply.

 * The problem is the lack of any reliable sources independent of the article's subject. Such sources are required by the notability guidelines WP:N and WP:CORP. For a company formed in 2008, I'd expect these sources to take the form of newspaper articles. While Google shows several thousand hits, Google News offers little. None of the hits I looked at seemed to be both independent of PayPoint itself (ie not a press release) and more than a one-line passing mention. I've now discovered that there's a PayPoint article, and since the parent company is part of a significant stock index, reliable sources for the parent should exist. In that case, turning this article into a redirect to the parent company and merging significant content (backed up by sources!) seems the way to go. Huon (talk) 14:22, 20 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Dina, as I have suggested already, this could and should have been added to the PayPoint article rather than created as a separate article. Then, if at some future time, paypoint.net becomes notable in its own right, an article about it can be created later. – ukexpat (talk) 16:58, 20 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I merged this article's sourced content to the PayPoint article. Huon (talk) 13:25, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
