Facebook application of dubious notability. The only reliable source provided, a BusinessWeek article, doesn't actually mention this particular application - this appears to fail WP:WEB as well as being written highly promotionally. ~ mazca  t 22:05, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete There are three sources here: a link to a list of Facebook applications, a link to the official site of the creator(s) of this application, and a link to a BusinessWeek article. Indeed, the last one does not mention this Facebook application. I wonder why it was thrown in here. As I am a religious Facebook user and have been for well over a year now, I know what I'm talking about and I know that this application is not as notable as this article dresses it up to be. I agree with you, nom.  Lady   Galaxy  22:39, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:WEB; I concur with nom and Lady Galaxy as well. Cliff smith  talk  23:56, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Rewritten I rewrote the entry in a non-promotional manner, every fact is cited, and it is indeed a notable application that has (according to facebook) over 17 million active users. Thanks for the feedback.
 * Yes, yes. Not to sound accusing or anything, but it seems cleaner now that you've removed the unnecessary reference and several paragraphs. Seventeen million? Well, Facebook has over a hundred million users. That makes it less than a quarter of their users. It's still not that notable...  Lady   Galaxy  02:32, 28 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge with Slide.com. Better as a section - an individual article on this is a bit much! Chase me ladies, I&#39;m the Cavalry (talk) 02:08, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I just noticed, this page was put up for speedy deletion for blatant advertising, however an anonymous IP happened to drop by and remove it. Just goes to show what this page is really about and if it's really worth keeping or not...  Lady   Galaxy  05:14, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Interestingly, did you see where that IP address resolves to ? ~ mazca  t 06:54, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
