Wix.com
It had been deleted three times before I got to it. Basically, Wikipedia does not accept spam, and this was written as an advertisement. Articles must be neutral in tone and any claims must have independent verifiable sources. Similarly, the notability must be established by independent verifiable sources jimfbleak (talk) 16:09, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Comment
The webs.com at least is a bit iffy, but both include criticisms of the site, and the second has independent references. Your text above makes claims that that are unsupported by independent references, and which could be completely fictitious for all I know (I'm not saying they are, but there are no soureces, so it looks like WP:OR. It is used by many PC and MAC users from the professional and private sectors alike. is one of many examples of uncritical statements with no obvious source - I've bolded some others. Articles must be neutral in tone and any claims must have independent verifiable sources. Similarly, the notability must be established by independent verifiable sources. As it stands, I would delete on sight. jimfbleak (talk) 07:03, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
