Music Video Codes

A few things wrong here. Firstly, it isn't clear about this subject's notability. At first glance, it has plenty of references, but these all seem to relate to Myspace, or contradict what is written in the article. The page is more about music videos in Myspace, Myspace, or the supposed popularity of these codes - I quote from the last section - "At its peak, the term was searched over 500,000 times in a given month, providing us an insight into one of the Internets great phenomenon". This isn't backed up as a fact, and the alexa.com link here contradicts the "MusicVideoCodes.com is also a top 6,000 English website " statement in the article. Montchav 19:08, 3 November 2007 (UTC) 
 * Weak delete. Topic is of minor notability, this article is largely spam for one website. I think that "music video codes" are a key part of the social networking phenomenon, especially so on MySpace which was the first site to allow this customization. But the article would need better sources and substantial rewriting. --Dhartung | Talk 20:59, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep May be in need of a review of the sources/references but the spread of music video codecs is definitely a major part of the social networking phenomenon, and if this is a major source of these codecs (as the article claims), than it is probably notable.
