All of these sources are blogs - some are from people at news outlets, but there is no indication that they are subject to the same editorial scrutiny that news stories are subject to - therefore fail WP:Reliable. {{findsources}} returns only 2 results, both press releases. As a result I can only conclude that this article written by a WP:COI WP:SPA is about a company that fails WP:Corp. Toddst1 (talk) 08:01, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete as db-promo. Bueller 007 (talk) 08:25, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The first reference is a news report from a television station. The second is from the Washington Business Journal's site, and bears the byline of a journalist. The third is from the site of Self (magazine). These are not written by independent bloggers, but are the responsibility of the media involved. As such, they are reliable. I added the "Terms Of Use" page from Jasmere.com only to confirm the company's legal name and location. - Eastmain (talk • contribs) 09:04, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting that even Google doesn't consider those media blog outlets "news". See {{findsources}} on talk page. Toddst1 (talk) 09:22, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I agree with Eastmain, the first reference is a news report from a DC area CBS affiliate news station. The second and third references help establish the notability of this article. It should be improved but not deleted. Daa89563 (talk) 10:56, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I live near DC, and I heard about this site because of the news channel 9 story. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Phacts (talk • contribs) 13:48, 25 January 2010 (UTC) — Phacts (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
Keep. I live in Pittsburgh, PA. I heard about this site from a friend in Denver, who saw it on a KUSA news feature. I have since used it for a couple of purchases and the site is exactly as described. Deal of the day with more buyers = greater discount. Article not available on KUSA anymore but can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6I64L88juY —Preceding unsigned comment added by Myboysmommy (talk • contribs) 20:02, 25 January 2010 (UTC) — Myboysmommy (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Delete as non-notable. The first source is the site itself; the second, fourth and fifth sources are blog-type postings with a promotional tone; the third source is a very brief mention in Washington Business Journal (just a paragraph). To my mind that does not meet WP:RS. --bonadea contributions talk 21:39, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as non-notable. I can not find any more Reputable and Reliable sources that meet WP:RP than the Washington Business Journal coverage, and while the WBJ may be reputable the size of the coverage barely meets wiki standards. In all, I don't see enough coverage (even with a few seconds of local TV news coverage) to warrant a stay of execution on this article --Brian_{(view my history)}/^{(How am I doing?)} 04:08, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
