The Million Dollar Homepage and Milliondollarhomepage
There are two articles on the "Million Dollar Homepage", one at The Million Dollar Homepage and another at Milliondollarhomepage. Both are up for deletion and have their individual AfD subpages. It's probably better if both pages are discussed together. The statements from both AfDs have been moved here. Please add new statements to the bottom. Pilatus 19:35, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I read something about this page just a couple of days ago, I think in TIME magazine the Guardian. It has an Alexa ranking of under 25000.  To be honest, I think we should have an article on the subject, even if this isn't a great one.  I'll see if I can find some time to expand it into a decent stub. Keep and list on articles for expansion, if I don't do it myself.  [[Sam Korn ]] 15:37, 25 September 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep & expand CambridgeBayWeather 16:37, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Now somewhat expanded. [[Sam Korn ]] 09:04, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 *  Weak Delete - I just don't find someone selling ad space on a web page notable. Jwissick  (t)  (c)  16:53, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
 * If he succeeds getting the money he needs for uni, then let it be recreated... till then it is one of many non-notable fund raising schemes. Jwissick  (t)  (c)  01:47, 26 September 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep - It were in the Telegraph also. But someone had better do something with it. Oswax 17:35, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment I do not see how Kitty Genovese features in the matter, but the article contains no information whatsoever so I would suggest Delete Maltesedog 17:49, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Forgive the odd reference! What I meant is that someone could make this into a decent article, but most people (including me) will probably stand around and do nothing. Oswax 18:13, 25 September 2005 (UTC)


 * Let’s Keep this for a while, at least. It’s a somewhat interesting and unique idea, I think. More power to the guy if he can really raise the money this way. However, the article should be moved to The Million Dollar Home Page per the name given on the website. &spades; DanMS 19:59, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

The Million Dollar Homepage
It's Spam. Much and all as I'd like to see him make a Million Dollars. Dl yo ns 493  Ta lk  18:37, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * weak keep ongoing internet phenomenon. (When my brother walked in, he remarked, "Hey, I saw that site!") Time will tell if it retains notability. &mdash; brighterorange  (talk) 19:07, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment This discussion is still happening for a different version of the same article Articles_for_deletion/Milliondollarhomepage. CastAStone 19:25, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Strong keep I just came to Wikipedia to get more info on this site and the guy has already earned over $300k in six weeks. That sounds like a notable Internet phenomenon to me! --Chuck SMITH 03:47, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Common section

 * Keep - It is equal to Slashdot in terms of Alexa pagerank and is already an Internet phenomenon. BBC has done a story on it . Fuzheado | Talk 05:29, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - Major press in newspapers and TV + heaps of copycats + original idea showing business potential = article worthy of inclusion.

I hope no one minds, but I took the liberty to merge Milliondollarhomepage and Million Dollar Homepage into The Million Dollar Homepage. --Chuck SMITH 16:27, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

if it is a worldwide talking point / event ? then surely it must stay, thats what encylopedias are about right ? if not what is the point of this site as well ?? to be selective about what it logs in human development and history ? that does not seem right ....
