Despite an impressive list of references, they appear to be all either press releases from the company, or mentions in passing (e.g. in a list of similar websites); does not meet WP:WEB -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 07:46, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep — subject notable in the industry, traffic amount data is significant (even if showing a negative growth). Sources in indipendent industry-related media available (summary at CrunchBase). Mentions available even on Google Scholar. The most recent reference by a reliable source i found is an article by VentureBeat. — Zhernovoi (talk) 22:05, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I should point out that CrunchBase is "CrunchBase is the free directory of technology companies, people, and investors that anyone can edit." (http://www.crunchbase.com/about). The VentureBeat article looks to me like a reliable source (it's editors are professionals, rather than just anyone!) - but the other references in the article were press releases or mentions-in-passing, as I noted on my nomination. I'm still not convinced that significant coverage is there. -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 18:34, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- The CrunchBase Profile reference can be used to sum up mentions of the subject — it contains boxes with TechCrunch and Techmeme articles covering RateItAll. — Zhernovoi (talk) 19:16, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
