 * What else can I do to keep this article from being deleted? I'm totally open to suggestions. I've tried to comply with the guidelines, but if there's something I'm overlooking, please let me know. Thank you. -- SeanMurphy27 —Preceding undated comment added 22:11, 3 November 2010 (UTC).
 * Find as much third party non-nominal press as possible (I worry about how objective internetretailer.com is - it looks like it might be a PR site). Read WP:WEB if you haven't already. Magog the Ogre (talk) 01:00, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
 * KeepReferences show a number of articles about the company with significant coverage, appearing to satisfy notability. Are the refs not independent, or are the sources nonreliable?  Edison (talk) 22:31, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I've added a couple more facts about us, including that we're a subsidiary of a company that deals with builders and contractors on a global scale. What else do you suggest I add?Seanmurphy27 (talk) 22:48, 3 November 2010 (UTC)SeanMurphy27
 * I've also just added a link to two more references, including a New York Times article. Would you recommend that I omit a few of the references to Internet Retailer articles? Seanmurphy27 (talk) 23:53, 3 November 2010 (UTC) SeanMurphy27

 * Magog: Thank you for your input. I've tracked down a couple of additional third-party references (including the NY Times article). And yes, I can see how Internet Retailer might seem like a PR site. It prints a monthly hard copy magazine and it's actually considered the definitive source for e-retailers (which is what Build.com is). Once again, thanks for your suggestions. I'm hoping to hear some more feedback on how this article can stay alive. Seanmurphy27 (talk) 16:32, 4 November 2010 (UTC) SeanMurphy27
 * Keep The article has been improved, and I encourage the author to continue the process. Cullen328 (talk) 02:50, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I was able to track down and add another article that mentioned Build.com, this time from The Wall Street Journal Seanmurphy27 (talk) 17:59, 9 November 2010 (UTC) SeanMurphy27
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Added another reference about Build.com's relationship to Wolseley (builders' merchant). Seanmurphy27 (talk) 17:15, 11 November 2010 (UTC) SeanMurphy27
