Frostbox
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

spam from Voidz. non notable backup service, lacks coverage in independent reliable sources. mix of pr and non reliable sources. meets tha same pattern as other Voidz article, throw in enough references to show a thin vaneer and hope it won't be questioned. To quote Nat Gerler from the first afd.
 * "WP:NOTABILITY. Article is about a service product. "Frostbox" gets zero relevant gnews hits. The one reference in the article which shows any sign of notability is this, which includes just two paragraphs on this product amidst a list of similar products. The remaining references are either references on the company that provides the service (covering their offering stock in trade for promotion), press releases (the "One Stop Backup For Social Media Junkies" info referenced to multiple sources), or databases.

Unfortunately that AFD failed to get response so this spam is here again. duffbeerforme (talk) 13:14, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment The reference | Here is in a reliable source, as is the NBC article mentioned above. The article | Here is extensive. Between the three may be a tenuous claim of notability. IMS91319 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:32, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
 * But that Startribune reference, while in an apparent WP:RS, makes only a passing mention of the service product Frostbox, which this product is nominally about; what it says about Frostbox is more about the company Frostbox, and even that is in being really about Wahooly, just choosing Frostbox as an example. --Nat Gertler (talk) 17:39, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
 * And the 2nd article mentioned was writer by the founders of the company, as can be seen by not just glancing at it, but reading all the way to  the bottom.    DGG ( talk ) 22:25, 25 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete No substantial reliable sources; I'm pretty flexible about sourcing for this type of article, but I expect at least one good third party review  DGG ( talk ) 22:26, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
