GiftZip.com

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

seems to be a promotional article, unsure how it meets the criteria in WP:ORG or WP:WEB. Elevating for discussion. I am also nominating the following related pages because it is directly affiliated with the suject, as described in GiftZip.com:

 * Delete. Since this is essentially SPAM, I wouldn't mind if it were done in a speedy-like fashion.   JBsupreme  ( talk ) ✄ ✄ ✄	 16:52, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

I do not see how this is "essentially SPAM". I am not a representative of this company and this article has been up for over a year. Additionally, no one seems to be offering constructive tips on how to improve it. Also, as I tried to illustrate in my last post, the website does not sell a product or service. I believe that if you referred to the articles referenced in said article, that you would be able to see the notability of this company in Michigan's wavering, fleeting economy. GiftZip.com is a house name in Michigan. GiftZip.com was just named one of 10 Hot Startups, along side Foursquare which seems to have easily kept its stop on Wikipedia, despite the fact Foursquare has not been along as long.

 * Weak Delete - per WP:CORP - "attention solely from local media, or media of limited interest and circulation" is not sufficient, and no real coverage outside business magazines etc. Claritas § 18:05, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Entrepreneur has Google Page Rank of 7. It is not a limited interest or limited circulation publication, it receives nearly as much traffic as ABCnews + MSNBC's websites. 76.226.177.13 (talk) 18:58, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
