Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Thefurniture.com
This article has been on a bit of a roller coaster ride. I originally tagged it for speedy deletion (as I frequently do :-) ), and the author asked for more time and help. I removed my speedy tag and replaced it with an {{tl|underconstruction}} tag, and assisted Dmcnabb5 as best as I could. during this process, two editors completely ignored the {{tl|underconstruction}} tag and the discussion on the talk page and speedy-deleted the article anyway. I had to prevail upon the admin who actually deleted the article to retrieve it and replace it, which he did. Unfortunately, I have come to the conclusion that there are not enough '''''independent, reliable sources''''' with information about the company to prove its notability. I agree that the company has a considerable online presence, first under SpektorUSA and then Thefurniture.com. However, most of the sources cited are simply links to the site itself and its subsidiary sites. The author originally tied notability to the design of the site itself, but unfortunately there is nothing at all unique about its design and functionality — useful, yes, but definitely not unique, as many other online shopping sites are similarly designed and functional. I feared that this effort might might end up being an exercise in futility on my part, but I went on under |assume-good-faith principles. Alas, it just didn't work out. If someone can come up with some |independent, reliable sources, I will gladly reconsider. But I just can't find any that aren't already in the article
