Hotels.com
No vote yet. Found on the list of NPOV disputes. Previous editor alleged spam. Should be speedy, but I wanted a VfD. Jwinters | Talk 18:08, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment How do you know when a company is notable enough to have an entry? Does the answer change if it is an internet company?  Other issues aside, is an entry for hotels.com important enough to be included?  If the answer is no, then delete.  If the answer is yes, then clean it up so that it is an origonal unbiased article.Vegaswikian 21:46, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * To answer your questions, 1) we debate over them, but most small companies are not notable. 2) yes, somewhat, since google-testing is somewhat distorted for internet companies. 3) Apparently controversial or it wouldn't be here, but personally I'd say keep it. Radiant_* 09:11, Mar 26, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and Cleanup. hotels.com has had many national television and print advertising campaigns in America over the last couple of years. I can even think of their snappy slogan off the top of my head: The best prices, the best places, guaranteed. Mike H 00:08, Mar 26, 2005 (UTC)
 * Agreed with Mike H. Keep.  -Sean Curtin 02:38, Mar 26, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Very well known. I've heard of it and I'm not American. Wincoote 02:53, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep for reasons stated above. --Briangotts 04:42, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep, but somebody please rewrite it to eliminate the potential copyvio. --Kitch 12:58, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment I removed the extraneous,  , and  tags. There did not appear to be an obvious copyvio. As I said before, I was looking on the list of NPOV pages, and this came up. I figured I'd put it to a vote instead of having multiple boilerplate tags on the article. I vote keep -- Jwinters | Talk 18:40, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
