Lacks significant coverage in a variety of reliable secondary sources. Many of the references appear to be sponsored content, i.e. "shopping channel" type appearances on American daytime TV, or blog-like websites. Started by a COI account that only ever created this page. Content is solely puffery. Citobun (talk) 15:08, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment Not sure, as there are some strong sources inbetween, like the NY Times one. I'd also rather suggest a redirect to the owner's page if delete is the choice. Mr. Magoo (talk) 15:20, 17 August 2016 (UTC)


 * The NY Times reference is not actually the New York Times. It is an independent blog post that has simply been republished to the NY Times website. This blog post also feels suspiciously like a puff piece – i.e. opening sentence that seems to be trying to pique readers' interest in an otherwise unnotable website: "1SaleaDay, a daily deals company that seems to be flying under the tech press’s radar" and the lofty and vague claim that the company has raised "tens of millions" with no figure provided and the only source being the company itself. Hence this is an unreliable primary source – the company itself, which has its own interests in mind. Citobun (talk) 15:28, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete; I'm leaning towards delete at the moment. Only coverage I could find is very minor and pointless (e.g. "go to 1Sale.com to find this deal") or not about the site but rather its founder or products which are sold on that platform. No evidence this passes WP:CORP, WP:WEB nor WP:GNG. I couldn't check the lots of Korean language sources available, but they seemed to be of the latter type based on GTranslate results.

 * delete per above - puffery - David Gerard (talk) 10:14, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete -- sources are all PR like or trivial mentions. Insufficient to meet GNG and CORPDEPTH. I am not in favor of redirect to Ben Federman as the founder may not be notable either. The article has been tagged "notability" since 2012 and could stand to undergo an AfD as well. K.e.coffman (talk) 04:35, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the heads-up! I've endorsed your PROD. Best, FoCuS contribs ;  talk to me!  02:56, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
