BuyWithMe

Article is promotional in nature, company is just a startup and lacks notability. Eeekster (talk) 08:51, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete I declined a WP:CSD on this, but it does not seem to pass WP:CORP specifically significant coverage form secondary sources. A couple of press releases does not, IMHO, count as independent coverage. Pedro : Chat  08:55, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

IMHO they are notable competitor. They are present in 3 cities, groupon in 10. Group buying is a new category, quite interesting to follow. Would love to see more companies added.

 * You tube is not a reliable source. The examiner, I believe, has user generated content and the whole article on that site is a puff piece. The Boston pieces are self referencing. These are not reliable secondary sources. Pedro : Chat  09:19, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Did you actually see the video on Youtube? It is from a news channel in washigton. . Pedro —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pedro.tudela (talk • contribs) 09:27, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep and clean up/rewrite The Boston Globe, QSR Magazine, FOX, and the Boston Herald satisfy WP:RS. Youtube is not a reliable source, however the Washington news channel IS, so the citation would be to the news channel piece, not youtube. Whether the video copy from youtube could or could not be included as a convenience is debatable, but if it causes problems it can be left out entirely with the reference simply to the original news piece itself. News is news, whether written or broadcast. Also, Pedro, please sign your comments by adding 4 tildes to the end of your post (EDIT: I mean User:Pedro.tudela, not User:Pedro). &lt;&gt;Multi-Xfer&lt;&gt; (talk) 23:18, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 15:39, 21 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep per Multixfer there are enough sources here to justify the article, I guess. JBsupreme (talk) 16:41, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Although several of the sources provided by are passing mentions, two of the sources are sufficient. The sources are this article from the Boston Herald and this article from QSR Magazine. After looking through Google News Archive, I found this article from San Diego Business Journal. These sources are enough to justify inclusion of this company.
