Not notable, with no secondary sources. The last nomination already has a consensus to delete this article, but alas. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 10:00, 3 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - it has just enough third party sources, like Yahoo News and Linux Journal to marginally make WP:GNG, but I am going to argue that it should be deleted anyway as "just not notable". It was a failed concept for a freemium money-making venture, that never got off the ground, never actually achieved any degree of success and eventually failed, was taken down and no longer exists. I know someone who was actually a user for a while, but quickly quit when she found out that you couldn't do much without paying and that almost all the existing userbase, small as it was, were just vandals and trolls bent on wrecking it, which they did. It died unloved and abandoned by everyone, even its creator who started this WP:COI Wikipedia article both times. It never attracted any fan base, was overall just a failed concept and is not an encyclopedic subject, despite some early media attention. If there were refs that detailed how and why it failed, both as a concept and a business, then I would say "keep the article" as a useful "MBA program lesson", but as it is it fails WP:NOTNEWS and WP:LASTING. - Ahunt (talk) 12:56, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
