Reasons for deletoion:
 * Article has no attribution, internal or otherwise.
 * Article has no notability, stated or implicit.
 * No sections or adherence to wikipedia MoS

Simply not true, Newsfree.com is FindLinks, a yellow page spammer. Newsisfree.com exists, but at the very best that only says this spam has been sitting on wikipedia for over 3years, and hasn't even benefited the spammer. EvanCarroll (talk) 19:47, 25 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment The website address looks like it accidentally got mangled in a cleanup by User:Tony Sidaway. I have now corrected it to indicate [www.newsisfree.com] rather than www.newsfree.com. I am not as certain as you are that this article is spam, perhaps you could further illuminate your theory? -- Nick Penguin ( contribs ) 22:04, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Sure, doesn't belong here. WP:NOT we don't index the web, or care about every site. The site isn't special, the people that created it are nobodies. The article doesn't even make sense, a leading source of highly-targeted international information, moreover it is total WP:BULLSHIT for a website to syndicate in JavaScript. The fact that the website uses XML, or HTML. is rather stupid, as all websites use some variant of HTML. (probably XHTML which is XML/HTML). So the article fails technical merits, has peacock words like high demand, and fails social merits. And as you've stated, from June 2005, to December 2007, the article's LEAD sentence was factually incorrect ie, no one maintains this article. For a web company neither being historic, nor notable I see no reason for its inclusion. EvanCarroll (talk) 22:29, 25 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete I don't see the need for a stub on a non-notable website. ~NeonFire372~ (talk) 12:58, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. NN. --Tagishsimon (talk) 01:51, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete The nom is correct. The Website is non-existent so the company is no-more, and the article should be as well. The company might have been switched to findlinks.com. Ohmpandya   ( Talk )  02:36, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
