Subject fails WP:GNG/WP:WEBCRIT. Article creator deprodded to expand, but the article still contains zero reliable sources (except for the Alexa rank). I searched myself and turned up very little. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 12:38, 30 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I created this article in accordance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines The WikiBackPacker is a part of startup that founder Ganesh Krishnan started as part of Growth Story The founder is also covered by Silicon Beach TV I have contacted the admins of the site to supply more information about the site which can be released under creative commons ganeshkrishnan (talk) 13:32, 30 April 2016 (UTC) ^[1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xsspider (talk • contribs) 13:32, 30 April 2016‎[reply]

Thanks for working to add sources. It doesn't look like either of those two links even mention the site. In contrast we would need sources that talk about it in depth. If there are more sources about the founder, it might make more sense to have an article about him. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 13:43, 30 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. It's too soon for an article yet. Once this website has significant coverage in reliable sources, we can recreate the article. As a note, Examiner.com is blacklisted and can not be used as a source on Wikipedia, and Forbes.com bloggers probably wouldn't show notability unless they were professional journalists.

Understood. I will have a backup of the article on my system and put that back up once it's covered by major media. And thanks for letting me know about Examiner.com blacklisting. Gvenez (talk) 23:57, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as clearly too soon, only newly founded. SwisterTwister talk 05:00, 7 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Personally interesting to me, but there's nothing significant out there. I got excited at a 5 day old hit, until I saw it was a copy of a press release; oh well. --Larry/Traveling_Man (talk) 04:33, 8 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
