You asked, ''I'm wondering why you are proposing to delete my twango entry when as far as I can tell it is objective. I mirrored it based on all the other file sharing site articles on wikipedia. THanks.'' Wikipedia has certain standards of notability for the subjects of its articles - the standards for websites can be found at WP:WEB. Twango is a new website, and it doesn't seem to meet our standards. One of the best ways to demonstrate notability is to find independent reliable sources (that is, newspapers and so forth that are not related to the site) that describe it. There may be other articles about non-notable websites that I haven't come across, but eventually we want all our articles to meet our standards concerning notability and verifiability.

 * Objectivity isn't everything. I could write a perfectly objective article about the mailbox on my corner, but that still wouldn't be encyclopedic! Some of the references you mentioned look promising; particularly the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. If you add them to the article, perhaps with some sort of supporting text like "The Seattle Post-Intelligencer notes that Twango is remarkable for its blablabla", it would definitely make the article stronger. The problem is that the current article looks like it's a rewording of Twango's own press releases and FAQs. Thanks for your interest in expanding Wikipedia and in learning about how our processes work. FreplySpang 01:55, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
 * P.S. I'm logging off for the night now, so please don't think I'm ignoring you if you don't hear back from me for a while. FreplySpang 01:55, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
 * After 5 days, if the "proposed deletion" tag is still on the article, any admin can evaluate the article and decide whether to delete it. I won't do it, because I was the one who proposed it, and I think it deserves at least one more pair of eyes. Also, I should mention that any editor -- including you! -- who believes the article should stay can simply remove the "proposed deletion" tag. (In that case, it may be nominated for deletion in a more elaborate process called WP:AFD, where other editors evaluate the article and the subject over a 5-day period. If this happens, don't remove the AFD tag.)
