Spotbowl

 * — (View AfD)

An AfD tag was placed on this article by User:Fbooth, however, he/she did not complete the remaining steps. Furthermore, the article's creator then created this AfD page with a defense of the article. I've left that user's comments below, and am leaving a note on Fbooth's talk page to get his or her viewpoint here. Procedural nom, so no opinion from me at this time.

As I explained on the article's discussion page, I am more than happy to make any changes needed to keep SPOTBOWL's entry within Wikipedia's encyclopedic guidelines.

In its defense, SPOTBOWL is a website that has attracted MILLIONS of hits over its three years of existence. Its presence on Wikipedia is legitimately in the public interest and addresses the long-standing trend of America's fascination with Super Bowl advertising.

SPOTBOWL's entry is no more self-serving than the entries of pop culture or entertainment-based websites like Jib Jab, TMZ.com, and others like it.

Please let me know what needs to be changed on the SPOTBOWL entry (tone, content, etc.) and I'll be happy to make the changes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shoffner1974 (talk • contribs)

delete from as I suggested AfD in the first place. Article sounds like it's written by website's creator. Don't think we need an entry for all websites in Wikipedia - there are search engines for that. Fbooth 08:42, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete already speedy deleted once at, which was created by the same user who has few unrelated contributions. Guy (Help!) 11:29, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Neutral Only 623 total and 228 unique G-hits for "Spotbowl", but some of them seem to come from reliable sources, but some of those seem trivial or from blogs related to reliable media outlets. Thus, I'm unsure as to the iste's notability. -- Kicking222 14:42, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
