Delete. Article appears promotional, not convinced of influence/popularity of website (too obscure for Alexa to hold any data). Average Earthman 09:09, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

The article is NOT promotional, I took the time to add TWO additional hosts, how can I be promoting TWO competing hosts??? Furthermore I contend that if this article is 'promotional' and should be deleted then so should the Keenspace and Keenspot articles on which it was bloody well based!! And yes I know my comment isn't in your precious format but at this point, having taken the time to add TWO new entries, AND justify BOTH of them I'm very much sick of this entire process. You want to pretend as though Keenspace is the only webcomic host in the world, FINE, fact is there are TWO more that I know of (and if there had been SEVENTEEN that I knew about I would have bloody well added SEVENTEEN!) and I'm trying to convey that reality into the article on webcomics, it is ridiculous for anyone to want to edit that out. As I very clearly stated in my prior explanation, these are ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS, conveying a clear and accurate picture of reality, which is what Wiki in theory is supposed to be doing, requires providing information on ALL the options, not singling out ONE provider, THAT is promotional favoritism of the worst kind, in fact if deletion on the articles I added procedes I'd have to question how much Keen payed to have exclusivity on Wiki's perception of reality!

Keep He has a point but it could be altered to sound less like an ad: "full featured free hosting service for the creative internet community". Robinoke 10:51, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Keep for now etu Although this entry is of no interest to me, I have to say that the biggest objection to it is the tone. It sounds like an ad. It should be rewritten from a more objective tone. It needs some sprucing up in the comparison/contrast area, too. Right now, it is too promotional. It needs to be expanded wrt how it compares to other services, who its competitors are, etc. Either that, or it could be subsumed into another entry about webcomics, along with the Keen site entries. 2005.04.08

Delete. A free web hosting service that started advertising in 2005--apparently Wikipedia is part of their campaign. --TenOfAllTrades | Talk 23:06, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Reads like a thinly veiled advert. Not every internet site deserves an article. --NormanEinstein 01:23, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
