 * Comment A rather barebones nomination... I feel the website concerned is a little young for notability yet. Perhaps if someone could come up with something more that's independent things might be different The website itself obviously doesn't count, and nor does crunchbase which relies on user supplied information. The Aztec Chamber of Commerce reference looks interesting, but more references would help - and possibly (with all due respect to Aztec) concerning places outsiders might have heard of....

 * 5/4/2009 Update: I added an additional external link to further demonstrate Village Voyage & its use within one of the many cities it serves (see link to Zeeland, Michigan).  Note:  I was hesitant to add this link, for concern of poluting the article with unnecessary links, yet it was in response to threats to delete the article, which questions the article and the business' legitimacy.  Furthermore, I provided a link to Village Voyage's Statistics page in response the "citation needed" request.  This link substantiates that Village Voyage, with over 9 million legitimate articles, is one of the largest wikis in the world.
 * Comment I removed the link you added, as it was to a unknown blogspot blog and was indeed pollution. Do any major sources or cities recognize Village Voyage, or use it services?  As it stands, the page seems little more than a placeholder and attempt to push some PR.  The "largest wiki in the world" claim is particularly spurious, as most of the pages on Village Voyage are completely computer generated. Pugget (talk) 13:02, 5 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Coming on Now for some outside references... Someone must be getting enthusiastic or hot under the collar about this service. Looks good to me, but some others running paid advert funded sites won't be happy little bunnies, perhaps. It is probably harder to provide such for a service catering for smaller places than for one catering for the major cities, say, but keep looking. Oh, and please sign posts here with four ~s.
