Speedy delete as blatant advertising. ornis(t) 10:40, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
comment How is this page SPAM or advertising? --Darragh.Flynn 10:46, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - a good alexa ranking would have swung it for me, but without it this is just another ad for a non-notable company. -- Roleplayer 00:30, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
comment Alexa is a terrible basis on which to judge a websites ranking. I presume you are familier with the term SPYWARE. Alexa base their statistics on a small pool of web users that have been "infected" with the Alexa toolbar. In case anyone is interested, altough I feel I am fighting a loosing battle here, I have put some acurate statistics online for your inspection. Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Analytics_www.needahotel.com_20070101-20070903.pdf for stats from Google Analytics.--Darragh.Flynn 09:07, 3 September 2007 (UTC) Thanks.[reply]
The alexa ranking is not the only criteria on which I am making my decision, I just didn't say that because it's been said before. -- Roleplayer 11:34, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The article has been improved and is no longer written as an advertisement/spam. The website is claimed (on the article) to have received certain awards; however, they are currently unsourced, so notability is still an issue. I've done some research, and as I can gather, Needahotel.com has been given the "Best Travel Internet Booking System" award, a Northern Ireland Travel award (from gotobelfast.com — official travel guide of Belfast), a Ryan Academy Award (not sure if this one is notable) and recognized as the Best Hotel Booking Engine in 2004 by Irish Travel Trade. I have no opinion about the other awards listed on the article, but if they are all accurate, this article can reasonably meet Wikipedia:Notability (web). PeaceNT 11:18, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Could you please provide your argument? Best, PeaceNT 11:26, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
