Draft:VacationFutures


Advert for non-notable firm. Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  15:03, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

May I ask what makes this an advert? Are there specific sections or language that are a problem? The notability concern is also troubling. If something is getting coverage in numerous local, regional, and national news publications, as well as on the top news sources for a particular industry, what is the argument that it is not notable? Clearly various independent, reliable news sources are taking note of it, as are their readers. This seems to fit the criteria for notability, at least that posted on Wikipedia. If there are specifics that are problematic, please raise them so they can be addressed. Thank you. Jenren4prez (talk) 21:21, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
 * The "references" are so malformed as to be useless; when I follow them, they lead me mostly to blogs and blog-like objects I never heard of. "The Ritz Group"? "Skift"? "Tnooz"? There's "plucky local microfirm hopes to make good" coverage from a local paper, and that sort of thing. Please read WP:CORP; then read WP:UPANDCOMING. -- Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  00:33, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
 * So I take it that you personally do not find the travel industry (a $6.5 trillion industry) to be notable? The attacks on Skift and Tnooz are really surprising. They are the two biggest news sources for travel and technology. If you are simply writing them off because of your unfamiliarity with the travel space, then they are clearly not notable in your eyes. Under this argument, there would not be much anyone could say to explain to you the notability of VacationFutures, and I imagine even companies like FlipKey, Tripping, Airbnb, HouseTrip, or HomeAway would fail to meet your standard. Is there any way to have someone more familiar with the travel space, and potentially even the sharing economy provide an independent review, or is this as far as an non-insider can appeal? Thank you. Jenren4prez (talk) 14:09, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Given that we don't have articles on Skift or Tnooz, I would say that so far nobody has successfully made a case that either of these sources is notable, far less a reliable source. Do you have nothing outside of these kinds of trade journals? -- Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  01:38, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
