• Delete. Advertising websites may be notable, but there is no evidence that this one is. --Jacobw 14:46, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Reasonably encyclopedic subject, verifiable article. Evidence that, while it isn't exactly e-Bay, it's in fairly wide use. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 13:35, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

Comment from anon (User:132.236.209.126: I do not believe this article should be deleted. How is passwird.com any different than EBay or Froogle. Both those sites are the same as Passwird.com. They find deals and post them for you. Froogle is most like passwird.com and there is a Froogle wikipedia link. Froogle allows you to find deals for certain products. Passwird automates this for you. The site makes no money and is made to simply help others find bargains online just like Froogle.

Please consider this before deleting this page. I believe this page should be kept online.

• response to anon: eBay is an auction site not a list of bargains and has entered the public consciousness (i.e. people know about it without having ever used it themselves). Froogle, although not as widespread at the moment, is part of the ever-expanding Google empire. Both are therefore notable. Passwird.com is a website where a student is trying to make money from affiliate links. Not notable. 'Delete. SteveW | Talk 01:01, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

• 930 Google hits, 88 links. Delete as advertisement for a non-notable site. --Carnildo`
