Conflict of interest. Mostly self sourced. Notability Wperdue (talk) 19:29, 18 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep- The website is clearly notable, and is linked to all over the internet, including by Sky News. 86.174.225.167 (talk) 19:32, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. This website isn't even the top Google hit for "Net News Daily" -- if you don't use quotes it's not even on the first page. All references are primary sources. Pburka (talk) 19:34, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * In response to Pburka: Look at the references. There are some from Sky News (huge UK news provider), Wikipedia, Chicago Sun-Times, Herald-Tribune. 86.174.225.167 (talk) 21:37, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Not one of those is about the web site -- they're simply passing references. If you're using the article to demonstrate that Sky referred to the subject then that article is a primary source. Pburka (talk) 23:49, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. The references to Chicago Sun-Times and Post-trib are through BlogBurst which "puts blogs like yours on major media sites." Hence it's not a sign of quality. The Sky News reference is just a single sentence of an interview they had, on a rather minor article. Hence I can see no strong sources supporting the article. This seems to me like advertising for an over-developed Wordpress site. Greg Tyler (t &bull; c) 09:24, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
 * @Greg Tyler That's like calling the Huffington Post an 'over developed Movable Type blog'. BlogBurst submitted content are still run past the newspaper's editors, so that would be a sign of quality. Sky News still refered to the interview, and the story was on their front page on that day, as well as the main story on the Tech page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.174.225.167 (talk) 13:03, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Firstly, the Wordpress comment wasn't part of any argument, just a general comment. I hope no-one takes to heart that I'm saying Wordpress affects this at all. I'm a fan. Even if articles submitted to BlogBurst are moderated and vetoed, it still doesn't show particular notability of the website. The fact remains that anyone can write an article, submit it to BlogBurst and have it published by the Sun-Times or whoever else. Greg Tyler (t &bull; c) 13:24, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
