 * Argument for retention I created this stub entry, as the ask.fm website was receiving much media attention in Ireland, and had no Wikipedia Entry. Since the entry has been nominated for deletion, I have substituted an article in the Baltic Times Newspaper for the e-zine piece that was previously the main source used. This may address some of the verifiability issues identified. The entry remains a stub. I would like to see the entry expanded and improved, by the user community, rather than being entirely deleted. The entry has received 4400 page views in less than 30 days, so there is some interest in the subject matter. The said Baltic Times article, contains background information on the company, that may facilitate expanding the entry. Best regards --Padraigobrian (talk) 18:32, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep - It is fairly widely used from my own observations, the article just needs a lot of expansion and more references. Lukeno94 (talk) 08:53, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep per Lukeno94, I'm a little suprised to see this up for AfD. --Sue Rangell ✍ ✉ 21:10, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Very much a stub, but a widespread application with links to Facebook and Twitter, and notable even aside from the Irish bullying case. http://www.arcticstartup.com/2012/11/26/social-qa-network-from-riga-with-9-million-daily-uniques-ask-fm mentions "over 21 million users and 9 million uniques".Truth or consequences-2 (talk) 21:40, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
