Compete Toolbar
Advertisement for a non-notable product. "Complete Toolbar" gets 623 g-hits (up from 582 when I added a prod tag a few days ago). Most are unrelated. BigDT 00:58, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Psst... that's "Compete" without an l. J I P  | Talk 11:16, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Well ... it's not a notable product either ;) BigDT 19:16, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

1. Article is like an advertisement. 2. It is not notable yet. 3. Few results when you don't include the Wikipedia page as part of the search. --TheM62Manchester 10:32, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

 * comment In fact, if you remove forums and blogs as well and omit related results, all you're left with is a handful of plugin-download websites... Make of this what you will... LinaMishima 02:29, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom as a non-notable product. Big  top  02:36, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep? - Technorati Links - from many top-100 blogs All stats/blog posts are based on toolbar. Just going through their Technorati link list - very recently linked by many top-100 blogs - list includes John Battelle, Micropersuasion, Read/Writeweb, etc. Appears to be growing in notability rapidly 10:31, 27 August 2006 (EST)
 * reply whilst I support using the blogshere to support keeping certain articles, these tend to be social ones that have no hope of otherwise breaking out from the blogsphere and yet are famous throughout it. Programs and plugins, however, can be reliably referenced by a review within an industry magazine, which means we should not rely on weak sources. Thought you'd like an explaination to understand my voting. LinaMishima 03:19, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
