With an Alexa Traffic Rank of 224,938 it is fair to say that this website does not meet WP:WEB. bender235 (talk) 20:43, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * keep I don't really care about alexa ranking, I'm more of a source kinda guy, and the article has a large number of references from reliable sources that appear to meet general notability. Dennis Brown (talk) 21:09, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep I don't see Alexa rank in WP:WEB, notability is about coverage, not use or popularity. That said, alot of those references either are unrelated to the notability of CardHub, or are only referencing a study by CardHub. None the less, it appears there are enough valid notability sources to pass the notability threshold. Monty  845  21:26, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - a closer look at the references shows a lot aren't that great or independent, but there's at least one CNN article with in depth coverage and a number of others about a study by CardHub. Seems sufficient to me.--70.80.234.196 (talk) 22:42, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep Ample sources available, as I mentioned in the deletion review. Glad to see the article is back now, sources added.   D r e a m Focus  22:46, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Neutral. Although there are plenty of sources, I have to point out that many do not provide levels of "significant coverage" required by WP:GNG. For example, many of the sources from source #18 through #33, as of the version I am viewing, only mention CardHub.com as a source of statistics, without in-depth coverage of CardHub.com itself and what it actually does. In my opinion, these sources do not "address the subject directly in detail". Guoguo12  --Talk--  02:32, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment I agree with what you are saying, in principal, but it would appear that CardHub.com is very frequently used as a source of statistics, and many examples are given in the citations. That alone speaks volumes about the company and their notability, when taken as a whole, as many RS qualified sources consider them reliable enough (and in essence, notable enough) to quote.  By itself, perhaps not enough, but taken as a whole it would appear to bolster the notability of the company.  Dennis Brown (talk) 16:13, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
