Wikipedia is not something made up at school. Prod was removed by IP and was that IPs only edit. No sources independent of subject. DPCU (talk) 21:12, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Just about wound up the 'delete' button on this one, then I did a Google News Archive search. CBS News coverage from New York - two years running; TheStreet.com coverage; a mention in the Washington Post; San Diego Union Tribune coverage... those are on the first two pages of the search, which turned up 136 mentions, and there are more behind pay walls. Keep - ten-year history, events in plenty of large cities, and lots of coverage. Colour me surprised. Tony Fox (arf!) 21:22, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
