Blue Dot World

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Nonnotable company/website, mentioned in one short article on another website, which may save it from speedy deletion but which doesn't pass WP:ORG. NawlinWiki (talk) 16:38, 29 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete I couldn't find much in the way of sources, and it is already mentioned on the page of Chris Ward (Social Entrepreneur), who I am not sure is really notable either... Heywoodg 17:38, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Please Do Not Delete* Blue Dot World is going to get some major press coverage over the next few weeks, and these sources will be duly added to the page as they are released. This is a company that has attracted substantial support from the government and celebrities, and is helping thousands of charitable causes. As for the notoriety of Chris Ward, if raising hundreds of millions for charity does not earn you notoriety, what does that say for Wikipedia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alicebonasio (talk • contribs) 08:28, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Another social media website: a company that developed a social currency (Blue Dots) which encourages people to support charitable causes.  At minimum, a website must already have attracted significant coverage in independent reliable sources to be the subject of a standalone article.  The author seems to acknowledge that this has not happened yet. Since a website is almost trivially easy to set up, I generally want to see evidence of significant effects on history, culture, or technology.  Since this has only launched this month, it hasn't had time to make history yet. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 14:35, 30 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete - No coverage about this now. Promises of future covverage doesn't meet our inclusion criteria. -- Whpq (talk) 17:32, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
