The result was delete. The keep !voters do not suggest any policy-based reasons for keeping, basically WP:GHITS or WP:OTHERSTUFF. miealaraisa perhaps suggests an WP:IAR argument with "I see high value" but with no support to IAR other than it being a competitor to a notable application, it cannot overcome the policy-based reasons advanced for deletion.Rlendog (talk) 21:16, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Masterpiece Online

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

All sources are self-published or blog. Appears non-notable. a13ean (talk) 20:04, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Masterpiece online is a free resource helping artists gain exposure using the internet. This wiki page should not be deleted. Artists benefit greatly from this resource. The more that know about it the better. — Preceding unsigned comment added by W8lifter (talk • contribs) 22:47, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If Etsy is "notable", then I see no reason why Masterpiece Online wouldn't be. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.51.201.147 (talk) 23:17, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - No significant coverage in independent reliable sources under the name Masterpiece Online or previous name of Archer Exchange. -- Whpq (talk) 14:00, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I looked for coverage, its really barren. Etsy, to address a comment above, gets a great deal of press coverage.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 17:18, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP - Is currently the biggest competitor to Etsy. I see high value. -- miealaraisa (talk) 21:05, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - According to TrafficEstimate, the site gets over 25,000 unique visits a month. I would say it is notable enough to keep around. Plus it is used by 850 Art Galleries --IowaState76 • ^hasspoken 17:18, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - Notability as used in this discussion refers to Wikipedia's inclusion guidelines for topics in general or for web sites specifically. Neither the number of unique visits per month, nor the number galleries that use the site are relevant to the two guidelines mentioned previously. -- Whpq (talk) 23:41, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
