Ixquick

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Not notable and written like an ad. 120 million searches in five years, which amounts to less than 100,000 per day. Only other indication of notability is a "EuroPriSe" award, which doesn't seem to itself be notable (supranational government projects aren't automatically notable). May be salvageable if merged e.g. into an article about search privacy. Neon Merlin  15:52, 2 August 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Weak keep A Forbes article devotes a few paragraphs to the site. The site is also discussed in a number of books (,, , etc). There's not really a huge amount to say about it, but I think it's barely notable enough. The current article doesn't seem too bad to me, at least in terms of tone. It would be nice to replace some of the refs from Ixquick itself. Zagalejo^^^ 05:19, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Relisting comment. The first relist was 3 days after filing due to the AFD not being transcluded so a second relist is reasonable. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 01:31, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Note. The article doesn't have an AFD banner. Pburka (talk) 19:25, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - Like above, I found and . I believe google scholar yields a few results too.  ceran  thor  23:13, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
