Talk:Internet Brands

message: This is a commercial page for an unimportant company. Internet Brands Inc. recently bought Wikitravel, which is now a pure commercial project, being not under the GNU license. I think the community has not yet realized this move of Wikitravel into the commercial sector. Thus, the Wikipedia entry of Internet Brands Inc. helps to make things clear. Otherwise, it should have been omitted instantly.--Klauspeter 09:49, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Therefore a fork of wikitravel, called wikivoyage was founded to avoid commercialisation of a travel wiki. Meanwhile the fork ist working pretty well although in german only (at the moment). See article in german wikipedia--134.60.50.163 15:51, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

text: Wikipedia documents many commercial companies as any encylopedia does.  So for example, :Category:Companies based in San Mateo County contains a listing of a dozen articles about companies in just one California county.  Also Wikitravel is hosted by a commerical company, but the content is Free content which means that you can reuse the text -- or start your own wiki based on the text -- under certain conditions.  While you might argue that IB is an unimportant company, it does host Wikitravel which has already been determined to be important enough to warrant an article (see that discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wikitravel) so one might argue that by hosting a site worthy of an article it is prudent to have an article about the hosting company too. -- Cjensen 09:33, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

text: From WP:INHERIT: "Parent notability should be established independently; notability is not inherited "up", from notable subordinate to parent, either: not every manufacturer of a notable product is itself notable; not every organization to which a notable person belongs (or which a notable person leads) is itself notable." -- FuturePrefect (talk) 02:20, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Why this commercial page?

message: This is a dreadful page, isn't it? It appears to have largely been written by  IB's marketting department. And reading the above notes, I suspect it has. I have added a note on the current lawsuit that IB is conducting against Xenforo; I have written it carefully to avoid negative bias, though it was tempting, to counter the dire postive bias of most of the rest of the article. But I suspect such sycophantic text  will be interpreted appropriately by wiki readers. Let's see if my additions (and this note) last 24 hours! Heenan73 (talk) 05:10, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

message: Why is there nothing on this page about Model Mayhem? There are at least two separate notable controversies surrounding this site. Jamie Kitson (talk) 19:26, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
