The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. Arguments to keep here are mainly WP:ITSUSEFULL, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, and an opinion that notability shouldn't be a reason for deletion. Unforunately, there is no indication of notability, as there are no independent reliable sources that offer significant coverage. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 17:11, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

USAintern, LLC

Contested speedy: after the article creator was warned for removing a speedy tag a newly created user account continued editing the article, and removed the tag again. Article lacking citations about a non-notable company that hosts non-notable websites. Written like an advert. Speedy Delete. Ros0709 (talk) 22:17, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete, indeed. It's just an ad. Channel ® 23:52, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - no coverage in reliable sources. A search in Google news produced zero results; not even a press release (not that press releases count toward notability) -- Whpq (talk) 15:32, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I used this site at my college. It's well known on the campuses and it deserves to be here. It's the only site that actually helps students to find local internships. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JMC777143 (talk • contribs) 16:59, 22 July 2008 (UTC) — JMC777143 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Just because you can't find a news release doesn't mean it's not a legitimate company. A lot of organizations start using Wikipedia in order to become notable. The fact that anyone, regardless of background or experience, can add to Wikipedia is one of its strengths. Give them an opportunity to get their legs. Offer feedback, don't make it your mission to show them the door. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MrFSinatra (talk • contribs) 19:57, 23 July 2008 (UTC) — MrFSinatra (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

I am a student that goes to school in California, but I am from New Jersey. I thought it would be very difficult finding an internship being so far away from home. However, USAIntern is the only site that helped me find a summer internship. Because of this site I now have an internship that allows me to network with people in my field. There is no reason why this site should not be included on Wikipedia. It is very helpful for both students and employers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pepp88 (talk • contribs) 20:34, 23 July 2008 (UTC) — Pepp88 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

This is the only site of its kind and helped me find both of my internships this summer. My friends used it to find internships at their home towns, which they never would have been able to do since they live at school so far away. I will continue to use this site through my whole college career and it has helped me make connections in my field. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.247.166.31 (talk) 18:14, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
