Submitted 5 times without improvement. No evdence of notability ,and reads like a press release. DGG ( talk ) 03:16, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
- Delete. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 05:24, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
- Delete. I agree with David. Another account has created the same article in main space on 10 September as DnsMadeEasy. -- Sam Sailor Talk! 16:17, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
- Note Faced with an (in my view) invalid attempt to speedy delete the mainspace version, I history merged the draft into that version, which is now at DNS Made Easy. I failed to note the in-progress mfd, for which I apologize. I suggest this discussion be closed, and editors consider whether to put the mainspace version through AfD. Ther seem to be some independent sources, but a good deal of spammy content, and perhaps not enough valid sources to establish notability. I would close this, but feel as if it is inappropriate for me to do so, under the circumstances. DES (talk) 01:26, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
- Follow-up There is indeed an AfD for the article itself, found here. Primefac (talk) 01:41, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
- Note: The MfD tag was stripped in a major rewrite [1], or was it a history merge? The page is now at DNS Made Easy. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 01:44, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
- SmokeyJoe, there was a histmerge because the Article was a copy/paste from the draft. DeSiegel explained it above. Primefac (talk) 02:24, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
- SmokeyJoe, the draft was copied and pasted to mainspace. Someone tagged it for speedy deletion because it was moved out of AfC withoiut review. Of course, that is not a valid speedy deletion reason, but in dealing with that, i saw that it was a C&P, and checking found that others had edited the draft, so a hist merge was required. i did that, but in multiple steps because I missed (at first) that the mainspace was not at quite the same name. In the process I failed to note the mfd until the histmerge had been done, so then i posted here to explain the matter. The ASfd was opened after I finished the histmerge, either after or while I was first posting here. It may have been poor procedure on my part, but the Afd is i think now the place to discuss this one way or the other. DES (talk) 02:46, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
- Sorry, I was commenting on the 13 September version of this discussion, which I pre-loaded, and didn't notice your comments today when I posted mine. Yes, AfD is where this should continue. This discussion should be closed. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 02:52, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
