Speedy deletion of Blinkpro
A tag has been placed on Blinkpro, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Why Blinkpro is being deleted
You recently asked a question on Talk: Blinkpro about why Blinkpro is being deleted. I'm answering it here as Talk: Blinkpro is likely to be quickly deleted. Both times you have created this article, you haven't established its notability. You can do that by citing reliable sources in the article. Please review these three pages before proceeding: Thanks.

Very hypocritical
I understand the need for citing reliable sources. However, the post about BlinkPro, which is an online bookmarking system, is almost identical to the one for Google Bookmarks (since they are similar in functionality). I do not see any reliable citations there. Again, I must ask why a post for Google Bookmarks would be allowed and the one for BlinkPro would not.

I will continue to research the proper methods for citation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Benstrum74 (talk • contribs) 04:53, 14 March 2008
 * Three comments:
 * Be careful who you call a hypocrite. I'm assuming that wasn't meant towards me personally, rather to express your frustration that the Wiki community isn't give you a platform.
 * Review WP:OSE
 * Good luck with the citations. Let me know if you need help.
