The result of the debate was DELETE. Zordrac is correct that the advertising has been removed. However, there was also the neologism charge, which a quick Google confirms to be likely true, with only 50 useful hits. Now I would not normally Google myself during an AfD closure, but this time it's important to verify the Google count claims in the debate and to see whether the neologistic claims have the basis claimed in the debate. -Splash talk 23:40, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

Biznik
Article describes a neologism related to some business motivation/networking type site, and then goes on to advertise for that site. Only contributing author to this article is User:Danmcccomb who runs the blog on the site advertised in the article. --W.marsh 17:59, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Comment Surprised to see 19,000+ hits on google. --Gurubrahma 09:13, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Yeah but not even on 50 unique domains total... the 19,000 number is considerably inflated. Anyway even assuming a high number of legitimate Google hits (which isn't the case), that doesn't change the fact that this is self promotion (the only person contributing any content is connected to the site) and Wikipedia WP:ISNOT self promotion.  --W.marsh 15:28, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep looks fine to me. Maybe earlier versions were advertising, but not current version.  Keep tags, and cleanup. Zordrac 11:25, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
