Non-notable image hosting site; all sources are in-house, promotional, user-contributed, or listings. Not brutally promotional as these articles go, but falls short of any notability requirement. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 08:32, 13 July 2018 (UTC) Elmidae (talk · contribs) 08:32, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

• Delete. Not notable. No coverage from reliable sources. Search results reveal "for sale" listings which claimed that the site had an Alexa rank of 61,459 in 2016. Today, the site's Alexa rank is 119,608, which makes it even less notable than it was in 2016. Newslinger (talk) 09:23, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

Just a note, its most notable point would be what warrants it inclusion. Obviously if it has never been notable, that would be irrelevant Nosebagbear (talk) 10:25, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

Yes, I was unable to find any coverage from reliable sources. Let me strike out the Alexa rank if it's not relevant. Newslinger (talk) 10:33, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for this extraordinary demonstration of complete misunderstanding of notability requirements as presented by an editor with a whopping conflict of interest. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 11:35, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

Added WP:COI notices to Gifyu.com, Talk:Gifyu.com, and User talk:Tharun518. — Newslinger talk 13:25, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

@Tharun518: Sorry for mentioning the Alexa rank earlier, since that isn't the right way to determine whether a website is notable. Please refer to WP:WEBCRIT instead. Newslinger (talk) 13:09, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

• Delete - the given sources are not independent reliable sources (see WP:RS), or provide only passing mentions and listings (reliable detailed coverage is needed). As already mentioned above, the requirements for "notability" in Wikipedia's sense of the term are not met (see WP:GNG for the basic criteria). A Google search did not reveal any other promising possible sources. GermanJoe (talk) 10:57, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
