Shopperpedia
I think this deserves at least some discussion, so I'm putting it on AfD rather than proposed deletion. While looking through my old contribs for entries that still had "(top)" on them, I found this one; the article hasn't been touched since June 2005. I think it's vanity and an advertisement, because even though it receives 33100 google hits, many of them are wikipedia related, and some of the results are quite strange and look like blatant SEO (like this page. The wiki isn't very active, see it's recent changes for the last 30 days and its statistics. I am also unsure of what to do about the many mentions of shopperpedia on other language wikipedias. See also Articles for deletion/Shopping encylopedia; what are the differences between that article and the shopperpedia one? Graham talk 10:05, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I've removed all the mentions of shopperpedia on other editions of wikipedia. I've also notified the (still active) participants in [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shopping encylopedia about this debate. The more I look into this, the more uncontrovercial it seems ...

 * Delete Good idea for a wiki, but it looks like it hasn't really taken off. Alexa rank 1,441,708.  Their recent changes page shows only 3 edits in the month of June so far... en.wikipedia, for comparison's sake, has dozens of edits every minute.

 * Delete. I don't think it meets WP:WEB. enochlau (talk) 12:57, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, this site is similar to Shopping encyclopedia (and similar notability). My reasoning in that AfD holds for this AfD (disclaimer: I was contacted about this AfD due to my involvement in the Shopping encyclopedia AfD. --Deathphoenix ʕ 14:55, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete articles on Wikis don't get special dispensation because Wikipedia is itself a Wiki; no verification still means no article. Z iggurat 01:42, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
