I dunno what criteria to use but I don't think worthy enough to be included -- Ushau97 talk  contribs 09:41, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete This article has many problems. It claims to be highest-earning websites, but its methodology isn't clear either on the page or in its source: it lists online retailers, companies who make money from advertising on their website, companies which primarily make money from other sources, like Reuters (which is primarily a news agency), and companies with multiple websites and other sources of income, like Google. A widely-discussed list from a reliable and authoritative source might be notable, but this isn't. It seems like an advert for somebody's Top 10 blog. If there's a good redirect target, fine, but deletion is otherwise the best option. --Colapeninsula (talk) 13:20, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete. The sole reference is to a "Top 10 Blog."  Copying their list in their order might be a copyright violation.  At any rate, the blog doesn't appear to be a reliable source.  So tagged. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 19:35, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
