EEmap

Site does not appear to pass WP:WEB. Article is written entirely from the primary source. Few wiki links (tagged since last year). Pcap ping 10:02, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. While the article certainly needs work, the site does appear to pass criterion 3 of WP:WEB, as its content has been distributed via a medium which is both respected and independent of the creators, in this case, Google Earth and Google Maps.--Unscented (talk) 21:34, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- My understanding from the blog entry [1], which is not affiliated with Google, is that EEmap is a site that allows users to store Chinese annotations over Google's map. But this content is stored on EEmap's site, and not distributed by Google. So I don't see how point 3 of WP:WEB applies. EEmap is just a derivative of Google maps, but it does not seem endorsed or its content distributed by Google in any way. Pcap ping 21:50, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Wikimapia and Placeopedia is not stored on Google site.In a sense, EEmap is a chinese another type of Wikimapia--Sinvcom (talk) 03:01, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually, they do have an overlay hosted on Google Maps's site, but it's non-functional (for me anyway) [2]. Google Maps has this disclaimer: "The content overlaid onto this map is provided by a third party, and Google is not responsible for it". YMMV if that qualifies it for 3.

  - - The Mapplet [3] only is a Google maps Mashup.--Sinvcom (talk) 03:11, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - What does YMMV mean?
    - YMMV. Point 3 of WP:WEB has an exception for trivial distribution. An non-working Google Maps overlay that is not endorsed by Google probably qualifies as trivial. Pcap ping 08:36, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    - Well, the full text of the "trivial distribution" exception says: Trivial distribution including content being hosted on sites without editorial oversight (such as YouTube, MySpace, GeoCities, Newgrounds, personal blogs, etc.). While Google Maps does have a general disclaimer attached to the overlay, they're still distributing it, and they aren't a site like YouTube or MySpace where anyone can upload whatever content they like. It's certainly a borderline situation, but personally, I think it passes.--Unscented (talk) 20:49, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - okay, no reliable sources are given, so I'd say delete. Dekisugi (talk) 01:46, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The EEmap site appear to pass criterion 3 of WP:WEB,I think EEmap is the first and best Chinese Google Maps mashup.--Unlinux (talk) 11:17, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
