Reads like an ad Navou   talk  17:01, 24 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Speedy Keep - Site and its associated software is used by millions of users. 3 million Ghits.  Extensive media coverage.  Easily meets either any of WP:SOFT, WP:CORP or WP:WEB (take your pick).  The article content didn't read like an ad to me, and it even includes a section on criticism; but if you don't like what it says, perhaps you should attempt to improve it.

 * Discussion It just comes across to me as a self promoting article without cites other than the products website. Navou   talk  17:33, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Lack of better cites or sources isn't by itself a reason for deletion, especially for something that can be quickly verified as a notable product/vendor/company. There's quite a wealth of articles written about it on the Internet that you could probably add a few more neutral references in the time it took to go through the AfD-listing process.

 * Keep. Passes #1 of WP:SOFTWARE (proposed): "The software is among the core products of a notable software developer or vendor." --- RockMFR 17:33, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is inane. Gamespy is an obvious keep. Thedreamdied 17:41, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep instead of an AfD, may I suggest Template:Advert as a clean-up tag? FrozenPurpleCube 17:48, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
