Hiki

And another wiki with no independent sources, no evidence of innovation, significance or market share. Guy (Help!) 16:51, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete, no assertion of notability. Dekimasu よ! 04:24, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep :
 * Pro: An English Google News Archive search for "hiki+wiki" turns up 18 Japanese news items after filtering out spurious Swahili and Hawaiian hits. While I don't read Japanese, some of the sites are clearly notable media sites: ITmedia, CNET Japan, BroadBand Watch.
 * Con:A Google web search for English web pages containing hiki+wiki turns up just 370 hits
 * Con:The Japanese version of this article also lacks any refs besides Hiki's own web site
 * -- A. B. (talk) 04:51, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Six of the top seven articles (the six in Japanese) are reprints or slight alterations of an Alpslab press release that only mentions Hiki once in passing - it's not the topic of the hits. The seventh article is in Finnish, which is Greek to me. Dekimasu よ! 05:43, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the explanation. In that case, I think we should delete this article. -- A. B. (talk) 05:54, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
