The result was '''delete'''. [[User:Wickethewok|Wickethewok]] 14:54, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

===[[Modelresource.ca]]===

Appears to be an ad. ~600 hits on google, many of which are the site itself.

I won't oppose the deletion if it does in fact contravene the policies of self-promotion. Recently - because of the success of [[Canada's Next Top Model]] - I've been requested to speak at a lot of events. As the event organizers take proposals to potential third-party sponsors a lot are asking what Modelresource.ca is.

I tried to be fair in what I wrote (not listing numbers of visitors, for example), but as I re-read it I can see how it might come across as vanity or blatant advertising. If you can suggest revisions I'm open to that, otherwise, as I said, I won't oppose deletion if you feel there is no place for it on Wikipedia. [[User:Dangle14|Dangle14]] 13:59, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

:The main issue is that you have no sources other than the website itself. A Wikipedia article on the topic needs ''secondary'' sources like newspaper articles.

Fair enough. I won't argue that. [[User:Dangle14|Dangle14]] 14:07, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

*'''Delete'''. Does not appear to meet the criteria in the [[WP:WEB]] guideline. The article also contains [[WP:V|unverified]] statements (i.e. who visits the site). [[User:Agent 86|Agent 86]] 17:41, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
