NewsReel (by RGMedia)
This article is about a fledgling news syndication web site. It doesn't look like this site has ever been mentioned in the media, blogs, etc. so I don't think it is ready to have an encyclopedia article yet. No backward links in Google, no Alexa rank for news.rgmds.com. Rhobite 02:01, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Looks like a possible/probable case of self-advertising to me. Buchanan-Hermit™ .. CONTRIBS .. SPEAK!  02:04, 31 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep It's a beta, and was taken off the search engines by its owner until testing is complete. The article clearly states it's a beta. Secondly, blogs are not adequate measures for anything as they are owned by individuals who can not possibly view every single news site out there (especially if it has been temporarily taken off search engines), so it makes sence that it would not be mentioned on blogs. Furthermore, NewsReel is a free service and does not promote its owner's company, and gives all article credit to the respective sources. Finally, NewsReel recieves quite a bit of traffic from the public domain (even in its uncomplete state). Howeve, if you wish to delete the article please do not remove any redirects as NewsReel will soon be listed on Google, Yahoo, other search engines, blogs and will be ranked by Alexa. I think that it is too much of a hassle to delete something that will just need to be rewritten in a month or so. This adds another problem as by Wikipedia policy, you cannot re-post a deleted article. This would force others to take more time to reword a perfectly fine article.

Personally I think that the article should remain standing or be temp. removed and allowed be re-posted in its exact entirity when it is seen on other sources. 68.196.163.237 02:13, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as NN. Even after it's listed on google, it still won't be notable for a long while.   (Signed: J.Smith) 02:46, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as NN. The article should not be posted until in "its exact entirity" and notable. Being too much of a hassle to delete and rewrite is no reason to keep it. --Bugturd  Talk 03:13, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete until it becomes notable.--Gillespee 04:48, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
