Shop.Com[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

An overly promotional article for a non-notable shopping site. While the article's tone could be fixed, the lack of notability probably can't. While being an "Official Honoree" for a Webby sounds impressive initially, it looses a bit of meaning once one realizes that 15% of the sites submitted got that title. There are also a few other awards mentioned, but they seem to have similar notability issues. Further, there really isn't any reliable reporting on the site (once press release and such are tossed out). Bfigura ^(talk) 20:04, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as nominator, for the reasons above. Bfigura ^(talk) 20:05, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - It has not a single citation to any reliable sources - in fact, several citations are press releases. Bearian (talk) 18:51, 23 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
This page was recently blanked and written over with the following message by User:Ysimone. I actually used this entry to see if shop.com was a trustworthy site to shop from when needed to get baby stuff on discount while I was pregnant. In this economy everyone’s using sites like shop.com and shopping.com and to save money. I think it’s a good idea to keep this wiki entry because it’s a great resource for shoppers who want to check out a company that we’ve never heard of before and see if it’s legit. I restored the discussion but don't want to remove the new user's message. Them From Space 23:57, 23 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
