First about Alexa ranking: almost no-one uses Alexa tool bar in Finland, so Finnish sites do not have as good Alexa rankings as their real traffic should give.

Playray is one of the most popular web services in Finland, and currently the service is internationalizing rapidly - in a same manner like Habbo Hotel (which also has a Wikipedia article and which is a much smaller service in Finland than Playray). The Playray community is very strong and the service has a devoted following. If this article needs to be deleted, then it means that Pogo.com, Habbo, and many other gaming community service articles should be deleted too. :(

Check out the categories the Playray article belongs to --> those category lists are full of articles of similar or smaller online gaming services. Why aren't they under deletion? Who defines what services are big enough to be described in Wikipedia?

There's also information about Playray in German and Finnish Wikipedias. These articles are made by several users who really wish to give accurate information. It's a sad thing that someone thinks that as spam.


 * No deletion same kind of service/article as Habbo for example.
 * Comment: Please, go ahead and nominate those other articles if you feel they do not meet the standards on notability.--Peephole 13:08, 3 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Real business, real service - no reason to delete
 * Comment: Nobody is contesting the service isn't real, rather that it's not notable. And nobody has proven it is.--Peephole 19:31, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: Ok, I got your point. So, what makes service notable? This service has more than 1.000.000 unique users monthly. Enough? I see it is.
 * Comment: Coverage by reliable sources. --Peephole 12:40, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been added to the list of CVG deletions. Peephole 13:23, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete all WP:SPAM, also per WP:RS/WP:V. -- Wine Guy  Talk  00:47, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Article clearly belongs under online games category, no delete. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.30.176.19 (talk • contribs)
