The result was '''delete'''. As always, feel free to query me on my [[User talk:MZMcBride|talk page]] for an expanded rationale. --[[User:MZMcBride|MZMcBride]] ([[User talk:MZMcBride|talk]]) 09:45, 18 November 2009 (UTC) <span class="plainlinks" style="font-size:smaller;">See expanded rationale [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=326592394&oldid=326590055 here]. --[[User:MZMcBride|MZMcBride]] ([[User talk:MZMcBride|talk]]) 19:50, 18 November 2009 (UTC)</span> |

'''Delete'''. While I do find this web service interesting, I do not believe it is actually notable as defined by Wikipedia. The bulk of the sources are primary, and I have no idea what to make of WND.

*'''Keep'''. Scroogle is certainly notable, IMO. I came to this article looking for info about this search tool when I saw the related [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/12506 Firefox add-on] (22,200+ downloads to-date, ~1,200 this week). A quick web search shows that there has been a considerable discussion about it and its creator, [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=%7Bmoz%3AdistributionID%7D%3A%7Bmoz%3Alocale%7D%3A%7Bmoz%3Aofficial%7D&newwindow=1&q=scroogle+%22daniel+brandt%22&btnG=Search&tbs=&lr=&as_filetype=&aq=f&oq=&aqi= Daniel Brandt], who is a critic of Google as well as Wikipedia. I too suspect the reliability of WND, but the references also include a story in [http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2006/01/21/google_subpoena_roils_the_web/?page=full The Boston Globe], a mainstream newspaper, which is further evidence of wider interest. That said, this article is far from thorough and objective. Instead of deleting it, it should perhaps be labeled as incomplete. --[[User:AslamKarachiwala|AslamKarachiwala]] ([[User talk:AslamKarachiwala|talk]]) 19:07, 13 November 2009 (UTC) <small>— [[User:AslamKarachiwala|AslamKarachiwala]] ([[User talk:AslamKarachiwala|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/AslamKarachiwala|contribs]]) has made [[Wikipedia:Single-purpose account|few or no other edits]] outside this topic. {{ #if: | The preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment was added at {{{2}}} (UTC).}}</small> |

*'''Keep''', per [http://news.cnet.com/8301-13739_3-9909637-46.html this discussion] in CNET News, which is independent of the site concerned and in-depth enough to be more than a passing mention. Also mentioned, but in less depth, in this [http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/ideas/articles/2008/06/22/stopping_google/?page=3 second story] in the Boston Globe.

*'''Keep:''' Sufficient references establish notability. The article provides information that is useful to Wikipedia's readers. —[[User talk:Finell|Finell]] 02:22, 17 November 2009 (UTC) |

*'''Weak Delete''' Boston Globe mentions are passing at best, and one decent mention in CNET just doesn't scrape by notability standards in my book. [[User:GlassCobra|<font color="002bb8">Glass</font>]]'''[[User talk:GlassCobra|<font color="002bb8">Cobra</font>]]''' 04:59, 18 November 2009 (UTC) |

*'''Delete''' - I agree with GlassCobra. Sources suggest that any notability is very, very marginal. –'''[[User:Juliancolton|<span style="font-family:Script MT;color:#36648B">Juliancolton</span>]]''' | [[User_talk:Juliancolton|<sup><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:gray">''Talk''</span></sup>]] 05:32, 18 November 2009 (UTC) |

*'''Keep''' Covered by reliable sources. Very minor topic but still notable by WP standards. [[User:Northwestgnome|Northwestgnome]] ([[User talk:Northwestgnome|talk]]) 05:53, 18 November 2009 (UTC) |
|||
*'''Delete''' Only passing mentions in reliable sources, mostly in relation to the topic of Google and data retention. A mention in [[Criticism of Google]] would be warranted. [[User:Brandon|Brandon]] ([[User talk:Brandon|talk]]) 06:15, 18 November 2009 (UTC) |
