This company appears to fail the general notability guideline and other basic thresholds for inclusion in Wikipedia. Googling with the search term "niftyhost" on Google Books, Google News, and Google News archives yielded no results. CtP (t • c) 18:01, 4 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- It is responsible for hosting hundreds of independent users on its free services, and it's certainly important to them, and that's no small amount of people. The forums have more than 1,200 users with multiple posts, so they must care as well. --Flotwig (talk) 18:01, 4 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Certainly, but did you check to make sure that it meets Wikipedia's notability standards? If NiftyHost hasn't been the subject of independent, reliable coverage, then it would not be considered appropriate for it to have its own article on Wikipedia. CtP (t • c) 18:07, 4 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- It's not very widely-covered, you are correct. Many people do use it though which is the reason why it should not be deleted. --Flotwig (talk) 18:11, 4 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
