Dominick v. MySpace Inc.

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This article was nominated for deletion via PROD on November 28, 2010. PROD was contested two days later. Despite the 10-year span that has passed since the PROD, this article is forever barred from a subsequent PROD, therefore I nominate it here.

The lawsuit was filed in an Illinois circuit court, the lowest court in the state. Cases that are decided in the lower courts are rarely notable, unless they meet the general notability guideline. The complaint was soon withdrawn after it was filed; therefore the court never took meaningful action on the case.

The article cites to two sets of sources: one written by the Digital Media Law Project, and the other written by the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Both websites are self-published, and therefore carry little weight in establishing notability. I am unable to find additional sources on Google web search or Google Scholar.

 * Delete. This case was apparently withdrawn by the plaintiff one month after it was filed, and thus did not result in any judicial opinion. There's no indication of this case having any lasting impact on anything, nor are there any citations to general interest media sources. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 07:23, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I’m having trouble deciding between a Merge or Delete. Would some of this information be useful in the MySpace article? Foxnpichu (talk) 10:46, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't think so. The sources are self-published, and don't rise to the level of significant coverage of MySpace. I don't think the content belongs anywhere, even in the MySpace article. Edge3 (talk) 16:25, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
 * In that case, I will also say Delete. Foxnpichu (talk) 18:56, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. Non-notable case, there isn't even an opinion issued for this case, as the petition was withdrawn by plaintiff (as noted above by Metropolitan90). aNubiSIII  ( T /  C ) 15:31, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
