Keep - Meets WP:GNG. These sources were found simply by opening the Google News archive search above:

Citypeek forms partnership with Meetlocalbiz.com
Users of Citypeek.com can now make Baltimore restaurant reservations.

— See also WP:BEFORE, section D. Also note (in the event the nominator was unaware) that per WP:NRVE, topic notability is not contingent upon whether or not sources are present in articles. Sources comprised of significant coverage in reliable sources only need to exist. Northamerica1000^(talk) 18:16, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed all the spammishness from the article, which unfortunately was almost all of the article. Ambivalent, but tending towards delete; the two news reports linked are local and don't really seem to justify being treated as "significant" coverage.

Delete. Insufficient coverage for a WP:WEB-based WP:COMPANY. A couple of quotes from the CEO in a local business journal (Baltimore Business Journal) is not convincing me; a 39-word blurb in the Daily Record (Maryland) even less. Tijfo098 (talk) 12:36, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
~~Delete~~ - Significant coverage: Baltimore Business Journal July 29, 2011, Citypeek forms partnership with Meetlocalbiz.com. Other coverage: Patty newman was interviewed on WBAL-TV about the website on January 13, 2007: "Sarah: So tell us more about your website. Obviously there are a lot of people that don have tickets today. Patty: And want to watch it at a place that's alive. well, that's exactly what citypeek is. It's a peak, a glance at some of the best in town, so many places give you a thousand places to look for the best bar, the best deal. Citypeek sifts through all that. Restaurants attractions and shopping." There's a mention in Baltimore Sun May 16, 2009" "Patti Neumann, who runs Baltimore's CityPeek entertainment Web site, disagrees." There's a mention in Baltimore Sun July 4, 2009: "says Neumann, founder of CityPeek, a tourism Web site" Another mention, Washington Business Journal June 10, 2011: "The news was first reported Friday by CityPeek Baltimore, a local hospitality and tourism website." A last mention in States News Service September 28, 2011: "Free Fall Baltimore is made possible by presenting sponsor ... CityPeek." Maybe one more significant coverage and the topic may meet WP:GNG. ~~Until then, delete.~~ -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 13:50, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I just noticed Northamerica1000's Daily Record December 28, 2005 significant coverage link above. Along with Baltimore Business Journal July 29, 2011 and the other coverage, there's enough source information for the article per WP:GNG. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 13:53, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
