Fails WP:CORP. A search of Lexis-Nexis and Google News revealed only a few passing mentions, and I don't believe that they meet the other criteria either. Sopoforic 02:26, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

It turns out that my search was faulty. The article still needs sources to be added, but it does have sufficient coverage as noted by Dhartung. --Sopoforic 05:10, 19 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete. No assertion of or sources verifying notability under any criterion of WP:CORP. --Shirahadasha 03:43, 19 January 2007 (UTC) Keep in light of additional sources. --Shirahadasha 05:14, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Agree in failure of WP:CORP. --155.144.251.120 04:25, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, notable freelance jobs website. I appreciate the fact that the nominator searched, but wonder how he failed to find these sources: (and scores more found on Google News Archive). The relaunched site actually has higher Alexa rank than the older site ever did, and it's remained relatively stable in the 1000-2000 range most of the last several years (except for the brief shutdown after the older version went kaput). --Dhartung | Talk 04:39, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: Wow, you're right. There's no indication on the results page for a usual google news search that it isn't searching all news, nor any link to search the archive. A search for "guru.com" on the usual news search yielded only four mentions, and a lexis-nexis search for the past two years yielded similar results. I assumed that any current company would have recent news articles written about them. --Sopoforic 05:05, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment, indeed, as much Google love as I have, they have no simple interface to switch between News and News Archive searches, and many people don't even know about the latter (some publications have 1980s results!). They're not a big publicity hound under the current owners but seem to be surviving (FYI, under the former owners, I once made $150 via the site, but I don't even known if I have a current login). Thanks for being receptive. --Dhartung | Talk 05:19, 19 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep after reliable sources have been cited, meets WP:CORP criteria. Needs more sources to be added though and needs expansion. Terence Ong 11:36, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Slight keep: It's not exactly ESPN.Com, but it's sort of ok.  Utgard Loki 15:26, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
