Sblnet
Reads as an advertisement, written by a user with the same name as the article (vanity), one and a half million-ish Alexa rank, Google doesn't even recognize sblnet as a real word (suggests another spelling). -- O bli (Talk) ? 17:05, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Was about to nominate it for AfD. Strong Delete.  James  Kendall   [talk] 17:16, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Reply from Article's Author: The article has been edited so it's quite clear that it's no longer any more of an advertisement than any other organisation's page (ie: contains 1-2 links at the base). Google suggests different spelling, because "sblnet" is not a real English word - any idiot would actually realise thats not a real word by itself; but google, wikipedia or msn are not "real words" either; so I'd say, based on that - there's no longer any reason for deletion; oh, unless my apparent vanity counts.

 * Delete. NN internet community.  Advertising & vanity.  Slowmover 17:23, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
 * The alexa rank is low. So it's a NN site, and therefore not worthy of a Wiki entry. Why not put it as part of your  userpage instead?  James  Kendall   [talk] 17:47, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Read WP:WEB and WP:VANITY. There is nothing asserted about "sblnet" that makes it notable.  There are no supporting citations from unrelated published sources.  The "real word" comment can be ignored; it's not a reason to delete.  There is no encyclopedic content here.  Also read WP:NOT.  Slowmover 17:49, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Try searching for 'slashdot', it's not an English word, either. -- O bli (Talk) ? 17:52, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Reply from Article's Author: Alright thanks, a decent reason was all I wanted =) Can't a just delete the thing myself? EDIT: Obli - You need a hobby, something that might stop you from being such a patronising fool (user: Sblnet)
 * OK, the real word argument was kind of weak, but the slashdot comment was just to prove that Google would have accepted the spelling if the site was more published. -- O bli (Talk) ? 18:14, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
