SearchMash
Article is just an advertisement for somebody's search engine. Alexa ranking is 596,646. Non-notable. Dr. Cash 00:59, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. That "somebody" is Google --Rubber cat 01:04, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. A Whois shows it is indeed owned by Google.  Stev0 01:20, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. Wow; I searched for myself on this thing and it gave me a picture of myself I'd never seen before.  Anyway, a Google search (yeah, the irony) shows searchmash is getting a lot of blog coverage.  None of them look like established mainstream press, but the searchenginewatch at least looks like a reasonable industry source.  --Allen 01:43, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, or merge into a Google article. It is new, but notable.  Tyro 01:58, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge & Redirect Wow. After looking at it more closely, I see it is owned by google. What about merging this content in with List of Google products instead of deletion? Dr. Cash 02:27, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is a Google technology.  Just because it is debuting on a seperate domain doesn't mean it isn't Google.  Maybe put it in some sort of Google category.  A merger, as mentioned above, wouldn't be bad either.  Maybe just a small subsection on the main Google Search page? WBHoenig 02:28, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect per Dr. Cash. Doesnt seem to warrant its own article, but should be mentioned. Resolute 04:14, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge to Google search. Maybe add a new section, "Technology testing". Michaelas10 08:39, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge to a Google article. It seems notable enough to keep. Shadow1  (talk) 16:43, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge per any of the above suggestions. Notable enough to mention, by virtue of being a Google site; not currently notable enough for a separate article (it can always be split out again in the event that this situation changes). &mdash; Haeleth Talk 17:21, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge with an appropriate Google page, as suggested above. --Maelnuneb (Talk) 17:44, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge/redirect to the parent Google article. Too new/unknown for it's own yet. · XP  · 21:02, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge into Google. If it gets bigger, Recreate.  P eople Powered 13:04, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Merge seems counterintuitive: the point of this site is to test it quietly and to disassociate it with Google Search in general. Furthermore, is it dramatically different from other Google offerings. Sean Hayford O&#39;Leary 18:31, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. I created this article because, although new, it shows potential features of Google search in the future. Although I personally think that it deserves an article, I would be happy for it to be merged with the Google article. 0L1  -  Talk  -  Contribs  -, July 29, 2024 (UTC)
 * Comment. For the record, I created the article; 0L1 created Searchmash, which I redirected to SearchMash --Rubber cat 19:08, 9 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Merge to Google, as it lacks sufficient independant notability. -  Tewfik Talk 01:18, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
