Mp3tunes
Procedural nomination. This article spent more than five days tagged for Speedy Deletion without any admin finding a case for it, or removing the tag as obviously inappropriate. I have replaced the Speedy tag with a VfD tag and am listing it accordingly. No vote. SWAdair | Talk 10:19, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Internet MP3 store that was founded two weeks ago. Obvious company advertisement, it even lists prices and stuff. Strong delete. Radiant! 12:02, Feb 26, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Ad. utcursch | talk 16:09, Feb 26, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Obviously an ad. Kbdank71 16:26, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Come back when you've got a good share of the market. --Idont Havaname 18:34, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Companies that are only a few weeks old are not ready to be included in Wikipedia. Zzyzx11 19:43, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Can I vote?? --145.94.41.95 20:16, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes, anonymous contributors may vote, but they may be ignored by the administrator who actions the decision, if he or she feels the vote was not made in good faith. Your vote would be more likely to be considered if you added your reasoning to it, rather than just saying "delete". &mdash;Stormie 13:42, Mar 4, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Michael Robertson, the founder of MP3.com, re-enters the music market after some years, using Linspire as a base to jump off of, and no one else thinks this is notable? And I find it doubtful that it's an ad. Should be redirected somewhere, at a minimum. - RedWordSmith 23:08, Feb 26, 2005 (UTC)
 * The article as it stands fails to make reference to any of this. Delete as an ad as it currently stands, though a complete rewrite emphasizing who Robertson is and why we should care that he's started Mp3Tunes and elimination of any pricing information might make me change my mind. 23skidoo 06:21, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, just under the bar of notability, advertisement. Megan1967 01:27, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable subject, with work it can be despammed and be encyclopaedic.  Or we could just ditch any mention of iTMS while we're at it. &mdash;Neuropedia 23:43, 2005 Feb 27 (UTC)
 * Keep, cleanup. Notable subject that needs to be reworked. Tim Rhymeless (Er...let's shimmy)  02:55, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, cleanup. James F. (talk) 01:15, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and try using the Edit this page button next time. There for a reason.  &mdash;RaD Man (talk) 04:37, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Questionable legality of the service a la Russia and looks like an advert. Delete would be easiest, but in the interest of expansion this entry could work if heavily deleted. Kenterlogic 4:044, Mar 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. The Recycling Troll 09:55, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Needs a cleanup though unsigned vote by anon User:212.159.20.25
 * Delete Just an ad for a business someone started a couple of weeks ago. unsigned vote by User:LeeHunter
 * Keep, the fact that they have 300,000 songs by 22,000 artists appears to make them a major player, and the involvement of former mp3.com CEO Michael Robertson is also significant. &mdash;Stormie 13:42, Mar 4, 2005 (UTC)
