The result of the debate was undelete and relist on AfD. --Myles Long 23:04, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I created this article after learning that the page had been deleted from the List_of_social_networking_websites page. I saw that the site (Ryze.com) claims to have 250,000 users, and has received a great deal of press (NY Times, USA Today, The Boston Globe, Forbes, etc). To me this easily meets WP:WEB, and I was unaware of a formal undelete process. So I went ahead and created a small article about it and placed it back on the list. It was deleted within two days, and I believe it should not have been deleted without an AfD review, or at least a Prod because the new article was (I assume) quite different than previous versions. You may see my version of the article at User:Dlazzaro/Sandbox . I hope this can be resolved easily. Dlazzaro 20:42, 9 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I haven't made up my mind on this yet. I was unable to access the NYT article yet, Forbes only briefly mentions the website, the Boston Globe article discusses it extensively, I can't find any mention of it in the USA Today webpage that was given, and the Newsday page is no longer so i am unable to verify its existence. However, right now Forbes and Boston Globe are making me lean towards undeleting this per WP:WEB. JoshuaZ 20:50, 9 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Overturn deletion, alexa ranking of 1,886 makes this a notable website, and the news citations add to its notability. User:Zoe|^(talk) 21:04, 9 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Undelete and list on AFD. I agree with Zoe here that a good case has been made for notability, and the speedy-deleted articles contain some claims to notability which were not in the AFDed version. The article is not a really good one (at best a stub), so I think that a relist might be in order. Sjakkalle (Check!) 13:59, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Overturn deletion. It seems to be another example of deleting just because you can. Gene Ward Smith 18:44, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Undelete and AfD per Zoe. Alexis ranking and press citations together present at least the requisite case for a notability claim. Another run through AfD will help these claims, and give more interested eyes an opportunity to give it attention, should they so wish. Xoloz 20:39, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Undelete and list: Certainly the speedy deleted version made claims for notability, but it was a G4. For my part, I think the Alexa rank might get the article to pass AfD muster, but I'm not a fan of web articles. The "deleting because you can" comment is borderline trolling and across the line ignorance. Geogre 10:31, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Relist The USA today article does mention it 4 times, although there isn't much information. One Newsday Google cache of another I'm sure I can throw a few more references on the pile though as it gets 229 hits from America's Newspapers and 21 from LexisNexis, even if most are short or only mention it along with others.

• Overturn deletion per basically everybody. I don't think it even needs a re-list. -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 21:11, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Question So how does this process end? Dlazzaro 17:37, 13 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have undeleted Ryze and listed it for AfD, but I don't know the proper procedure for removing the listing from DRV. Could somebody enlighten me, please? Thank you. User:Zoe|^(talk) 17:23, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
