"Notability" is the most ridiculous thing about Wikipedia and why it will never be taken seriously.

Make up your mind: either make an open encyclopedia, or make it restrictive based on "notability". You can't have it both ways Wikipunks! -Anonymouse —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.151.21.104 (talk) 19:28, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If del.icio.us could be in Wikipedia, Netvibes should be here, because is a web service too. Why not? In fact, should be an article that lists all the web-based RSS readers.

The concern is about notability. Please see the guidelines and provide references. -- Barrylb 03:13, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think the preceding was an analogy pointing out that if del.icio.us is noteworthy, then by dint of their similarities, Netvibes should be considered noteworthy as well.

I agree with the parent post. SaulPerdomo 19:33, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Netvibes has actually more than 1 million users, I think is enough. I saw articles about lot of things and web that hasn't the 1% of popularity than netvibes. Sorry, but I think is ridiculous the idea of deleting this article just because you thik that has no "notability". With your criteria 90% of articles in Wikipedia should not exist. put netvibes in google and has 7.300.000 references... is enough?

Netvibes receives special mention on a number of Wikipedia pages, presumably a valid reference source. Furthermore, Netvibes is arguably the most popular of the AJAX destops (cf. http://en.wikipedia.orgview_html.php?sq=Google&lang=en&q=Ajax_desktops), & as such stands as an important example of a noteworthy trend in web design. As an aside, it would be better if articles were presumed noteworthy, since it's hard to know whether even the most esoteric information is not of use to a significant population of readers. After all, that's one of Wikipedia's strengths as against traditional encyclopedias--a breadth of topical & off-the-beaten-path information. Not wise to stifle that with the conception notion of 'notability' outlined in Wikipedia's guidelines (coupled with the love of certain officious types for pointless censorship).

The fact that Netvibes is mentioned in a few Wikipedia articles does not by itself make it notable. AJAX is notable, and Netvibes might be mentioned in the AJAX article, but being mentioned in an article doesn't automatically promote the subject to noteworthiness. And if you think Netvibes is noteworthy, perhaps it's best to but whatever information proves it into the article itself--rather than just on the talk page. Oh, and as far as presumed noteworthy is concerned--you never presume noteworthiness. That must always be proven because 99.999% of stuff out there is not noteworthy.--Mumia-w-18 17:42, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
