UcoZ[edit]

Nothing showing that it is notable in the US, nor Russia besides Alexa. I fail to see how this is anything but a typical free webhost. No citations, either. The only site I could find besides primary source was Alexa, which just details popularity. I did find some forums and yahoo answers, but that hardly counts as anything. _David ^WS _(contribs) 21:20, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is not the U.S. Wikipedia, neither is the Russian Wikipedia an encyclopaedia for Russians. This is the English language Wikipedia, and the Russian Wikipedia is the Russian language Wikipedia. Furthermore, notability is not fame nor importance. Please give a proper deletion rationale that is actually based upon our policies and guidelines, as per Wikipedia:Guide to deletion#Nomination and User:Uncle G/On notability#Giving rationales at AFD. Please show what work you did to find sources. Uncle G (talk) 21:35, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:BURDEN. It's for those who want the article kept to show sources. Stifle (talk)
True, I updated the rationale to better explain what I meant, I suppose. _David ^WS _(contribs) 21:50, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep demonstrated popularity suggests there're other sources out there - unsurprisingly, uk & ru show another. This isn't an American encyclopaedia; I'm not an American - that argument is a nonstarter. Wily D 12:11, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I found the following on the AfD talk page; it belongs here:

1. UcoZ is not a typical free webhost but a hosted CMS. Among the vendors of this SaaS class, presented in Wikipedia, are Bravenet, Freewebs and other.

2. This article has appeared in the English language Wikipedia because UcoZ is multilingual. Russian language was the first to be introduced and that's why it is more popular. At this moment UcoZ is a finalist of the most popular award in the Russian language Internet - premiaruneta.ru.

3. UcoZ is gaining popularity in the English language Internet very fast ( [1] ). By means of this article Wikipedia presents one of the leading services of this information technology (SaaS).

Please, don't delete this article. I'll improve it if necessary.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Sandstein 18:53, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Popularity, or even relevance to the English language internet is not a requirement for inclusion in the English language Wikipedia. If a company is notable, it doesn't matter what language they use or what country they are in. However, I am not sure the article properly establishes notability. I would vote for now to keep but to re-nominate for deletion if the article does not establish notability within a matter of a few months. Theseeker4 (talk) 19:05, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
