30gigs
Non-notable email provider. Nearly-speediable article originally contained a contact request. Delete (see below). -- SCZenz 08:32, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, the article is crappy, but I think I can fix it into a nice stub. An Alexa rank of 48,246 and I found 1220 sites linking to it with Google. Appears to be sufficiently notable to me. - Mgm|(talk) 09:59, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
 * At that level, it probably satisfies WP:WEB, but I would urge (not require) that the external link be to a site that discusses the group, rather than to the provider itself, just to limit the possibilities of page rank boosting. In particular, Google hits are inherently high for any e-mail provider, as anyone who puts in href mailto will generate a link.  Weakest keep.  Geogre 11:10, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, just another website. --Ezeu 15:15, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak keep per Mgm. Solver 17:41, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. I might've been too hasty to nominate it, as the original version of the article biased me against it.  However, despite a high ranking, it's an email provider&mdash;I haven't seen much evidence there's anything interesting about it other than a fair number of people use it for email.  Obviously I'm willing to change my vote again if I see more info. -- SCZenz 17:45, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. See GMail - the feature listing is long enough for an article all by itself, and a feature listing can certainly be made for any email provider. Solver 17:54, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Gmail was groundbreaking and extremely highly-publicized. Is this? -- SCZenz 19:50, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
 * No, but my point is that at least a feature listing can be quite detailed even without being a groundbreaking service. Solver 20:22, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
 * And mine is that, regardless of how long an article you can write, if it's not a notable company we don't need the article. -- SCZenz 23:19, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Per MacGyverMagic. The article, can be improved, and is mildy notable.  Ban e  s  20:14, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete webspamMONGO 03:23, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete no noteworthy yet. Sethie 00:28, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep not an incredibly noteworthy topic; however, the provider is gaining in popularity and is often cited as a criticism of gmail to show that gmail's storage alone are unimportant. As such, it might provide a better sidenote to the gmail article, but I believe it worthy of article.  Cool3 22:19, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
