Footbo[edit]

An article that does not establish WP:WEB notability. The only reliable source listed in a TechCrunch page mentioning the future launch of the website; others are personal blogs or soccer fan sites. Harro5 22:50, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - PROD was contested by the author before I had a chance to second it. :-) "Footbo’s Beta site was launched in May 2008 …" seems like not enough time to WP:V its WP:N ... Happy Editing! — 72.75.117.122 (talk · contribs) _{01:06, 1 September 2008 (UTC)}[reply]
Delete, not notable, at least not yet. Mariano(t/c) 07:58, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
~~Keep~~Neutral, various nontrivial reviews, and notability is on the rise. WikiScrubber (talk) 09:09, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I've looked extensively since I deleted this almost a month ago. The site has simply not attracted enough interest. A single article on launch, and a small follow up, is all there is of independence. Of the links provided by WikiScrubber, the first (soccerlens) is a press release by Footbo (check the wording and tone) and the second is on a blog, by a software engineer—neither relaible sources - Peripitus (Talk) 13:07, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oops - changing my vote to neutral. Thanks for checking. WikiScrubber (talk) 05:10, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Footbo is an informative article for football (soccer) fans. This article has been Wikified now and has a good number of external references. Please don't delete this article. Techsplash (talk) 08:10, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Footbo is gaining much traction in the football community and the articles has been Wikified with some very relavant external links. There should be no real reason in deleting the article. Compare e.g. wit the article on Goal.com which is also a football community. The contributors to Footbo's content are some of the best known football journalists in the UK. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Manolito18 (talk • contribs) 06:41, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
