Myriad Search

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Rather dated article, I can't find any evidence that this search engine still exists to this day. (I don't even remember reading about this) No references either-has been just laying around for 9 and half years! Wgolf (talk) 21:41, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Can't find any reliable, independent sources, just blogs and marketing sites. Defunct now, and was it doesn't seem like it was talked about outside of the SEO field in the first place. Howicus (Did I mess up?) 00:25, 26 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No sources in an article about a defunct website, not notable. Citation request from 2013 is telling. AlbinoFerret 16:32, 27 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – Meets WP:WEBCRIT. Source examples include: _{^[1], ^[2]}. Another option is to merge to List of search engines. NORTH AMERICA¹⁰⁰⁰ 04:49, 28 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Northamerica1000-that is actually a good idea-the merge option. I was trying to find info earlier but only could find a couple blogs and wiki mirror pages. Wgolf (talk) 15:37, 28 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, now that references have been added. A merge is not a good idea, since List of search engines only includes sites notable enough to have an article. If you look at its talk page archives, you'll see that they're full of declined requests to add information about search engines that don't have articles. - Eureka Lott 15:48, 28 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, this site meets the notability criteria and should be notable enough for an article. LethalFlower (talk) 23:48, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
