I've been prodding a bunch of Yellow Pages spam under the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (companies) requirement. ". This one seems borderline and I'd like a 2nd opinion. It won Webby 2009 (other awards seem spammy, a bunch of Top 50, blah blah). Some passing coverage in mainstream media - nothing dedictated, again - Top 50 in Time, Top 25 in PC World, etc. Passing mention in a NYT article. One article about it in CNN Money. Personally I think it all boils down to whether winning Webby Award is sufficient. Now, Webby gives a lot of awards every year, and whatever mint want, is not even on in our incomplete 2009 Webby Awards. So I'd vote delete (hence, this nomination here), but since I been prodding a lot of those spam pages, I may be feeling a bit too deletionist. So, once again - second opinions welcome.

Strong Keep. This is not about the Webby Awards at all. This has received a heck of a lot more than a passing mention in the NYTimes:

And that's just a selection. --Samuel J. Howard (talk) 20:14, 25 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
