It's an article for a private company, much as any other and is not notable in any way. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.220.57.221 (talk • contribs) 14:45, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete the editor who created this article has spent most of his/her edits on this article and on a biography of the website's creator. I do not consider the coverage of this website to be non-trivial third party coverage. Racepacket (talk) 14:18, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak keep The sources provided in the article provide marginal notability for the subject. Angryapathy (talk) 14:25, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. The article may need further external references or be rewritten to include further citations. The activies listed don't seem excessively trivial. Maybe just a bit of a rewrite, with some further references? Kartano (talk) 23:58, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. An interesting philosophical question, whether the Daily Mail is a reliable source; but this obituary website seems to have attracted "mainstream" (?!) media coverage chiefly on account of a flawed ad-serving algorithm that dished out ironically inappropriate advertisements. Then again, I am not sure what sort of advertisements would be appropriate for an obituary. Leaving that aside, I don't see that minor flurry of coverage as something that meets the website notability guideline. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:31, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
