List of ISPs in Mumbai

Author declined PROD; however, the topic is not encyclopedic. WP:NOT a web host, nor a place for ISPs to advertise, nor a place for reviews of ISPs. KurtRaschke (talk) 14:47, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Non notable, also reasons per above.  Ṝέđ ṃάяķvюĨїήīṣŢ  Drop me a line''' 15:28, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

And now, the email that i sent to all the ISPs:
 * Delete one big spamfest. - Mgm|(talk) 18:54, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as a clear piece of advertising for "Reliance Communications" with no sources and little encyclopedic merit. – Toon (talk)  20:30, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete This article holds no information for long term use, does not meet Wikipedia's quality standards.--Crab182 (talk) 22:38, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't know how you can justify deleting this article on the basis of it serving as an advertisement or not being encyclopedic content, when articles like List of cable Internet providers and List of British television channels exist. In fact, it was an article like this that gave me inspiration to start this wiki page. Let me reassure you, that i do not work for, or represent any of these ISPs. I am only a 15 year old child, who has tried out 3 ISPs in the past few months, and now i am getting frustrated because there are so many local ISPs here, but there is no proper listing of them, and hence consumers can't find the right ISP to choose. Just yesterday, i found a page listing 2 ISPs that functioned in my locality which i was never aware of. I am aware that right now, the page is devoid of content, but I assure you, i am working hard to fill it, and it should soon be a much more helpful page for all Mumbai residents( which by the way, is a HUGE population of 13 million, so don't say this article is for a very limited audience...). Also, i would like to inform you that an email with the following contents has been sent to many of the ISPs here, and they should fill in their details soon. I will work hard to moderate the page and make sure none of them edit it to favor them or advertise, you can rest assured about that...And to the user who said this is an advertisement for Reliance, it isn't, its just that i knew the details for Reliance since i am subscribing to them right now, and wanted to get the ball rolling by filling in some details, so that people would fill in details for their respective ISPs...

Hello Sir/Madam, I have created a wikipedia listing on ISPs in Mumbai, to make it easier for customers to find the ISP of their choice. I welcome you to add details about your offerings.

You should find it easy to add details by just replacing the ? marks...Any negative actions like deleting a competitor's listing will be recorded, and undone easily by Wikipedia's large group of contributors. I think it is in everyone's best interests to keep this page regularly updated with information. Also, if you feel that a certain field should be added to the table and has been overlooked, please feel free to do so yourself. and also, as the details start pouring in, i plan to extend this page for ISPs all over India, not just Mumbai, so that it is more extensive and serves to a larger population...But please give it a chance to grow... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Skorned (talk • contribs) 12:25, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Same reasons as originally stated, entirely non-encyclopedic and doesn't meet Wikipedia quality standards. Andreworkney talkcontribs 12:32, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: Wikipedia is not consumer guide. --GDibyendu (talk) 17:31, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
