 * Delete This little piggy went to market and got caught by a spider! David <span
 * Comment I'm not entirely sure on this one, it does have an article from the NY Times which may meet WP:WEB's suggestion of non-trivial coverage. Yank  sox  03:28, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment I couldn't view the NY Times article because it links to a Log In page ... what does it say ??? David <span
 * NYTimes' web service is free. All you need to do is sign up, and you can view any article from the last few weeks - Che Nuevara:  Join  the   Revolution 23:17, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
 * The article was written in 2005, so you have to be a paying member to visit the link. Yank  sox  04:01, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, to begin with an NY Times article for something is usually a big deal. I don't have the special access but from I can tell, it seems to be a legit article and source. Yank  sox  03:36, 8 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Comment: However, the other article, at VUNet (or something), doesn't mention Inform.com at all, it just talks about how people are turning from newpapers to websites for news. --Cheese Sandwich 03:38, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I looked over that and it isn't a link relevant to the site, so that can be removed, but that isn't reason for complete deletion. Yank  sox  03:42, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
 * The link to BusinessWeek that is imbeded in the article just seems to link to a random article about math - no metion of Inform.com. Or am I missing it?  Kuru  talk  03:50, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Comment The NY Times could link to any news story at all ... we need someone who can Log In and read it David talk  03:46, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep needs to be rewritten, but is notable with inculsion of NY Times article. Thank you, Kuru. Yank  sox  03:52, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment OK, I had a look at the NY Times article ... Good enough for me David talk  04:03, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Potentially a notable company, but its still in startup and beta mode!! the NY Times, like most major news sources, carries many articles insufficiently notable for an encyclopedia Bwithh 08:22, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Artw 14:48, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. This solitary, hard-sought mention does not determine notability. -- Alias Flood
 * Delete per Alias Flood and WP:WEB fail, which requires multiple relevant citations to be included in the article itself, not just one. --DaveG12345 20:54, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete website promo. Wile E. Heresiarch 05:31, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak delete; the subject may not be notable now, but may become notable in the future. Also, if kept, may need to be cleaned-up for NPOV.  68.50.203.109 08:44, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
