EVDB
Marked for speedy but isn't a candidate. Reason was "advertising". Notability not established.  &mdash; Gwalla | Talk 01:36, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep 1500 Google hits for a new operation isn't bad, and crushes the Google count for yer basic non-notable highschool. Denni &#9775; 02:06, 2005 Jun 7 (UTC)
 * Keep it is notable that Esther Dyson is on the board of directors, among other things  Also, note how this company's Wikipedia entry is similar to Technorati, a similar company.   If Technorati can exist in Wikipedia, why not EVDB?
 * Delete. Advertising. The website describes Esther Dyson as an investor, not a director; that's not enough in itself to make the company notable. If Wikipedia contains articles that are also advertising for non-notable websites, they should be nominated for deletion too, but that has no bearing whatsoever on the decision to be made on this particular nomination. Try telling a cop "if that other car can drive over 75 and not get ticketed, why not me?" Dpbsmith (talk) 19:31, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
