Website seems to have no notability other than being part of an ad network owned by a group of large newspaper chains. There is no news coverage -- significant or otherwise -- that meets WP:INTERNET. Flowanda | Talk 12:25, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

  • Delete per nomination. The single reference provided links to a pay site apparently targeted at real estate brokers, and as such may not be a reliable source and at any rate is difficult to evaluate. A non-notable, non-consumer business unlikely to be much noticed in general interest publications. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:08, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

  • I would like to see further evidence of notability on this topic. Homescape reference may be self-promotional, or a COI. Recommend additional notable content, and external references to 'newsworthy' information about Homescape. 67.83.85.236 (talk) 22:29, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

* Delete. One article from a periodical is way below notability standards. Difficult to tell if there is any evidence of notability on Google because there are a lot of other things called Homescape, but this AfD has been around for days, and if no-one prepared to supply evidence of notabiltiy, I don't see any point in keeping this.

  • Weak Keep / Rename - As of last week, this company appears to have changed its name to HomeFinder and there were a number of articles around this change. This appears to be a press release that got picked up with articles. Given this I think notability could potentially be established. |► ϋrbanяenewaℓTALK ◄| 18:14, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
  • Comment. I've had a better look at this article now. It appears this was originally written by an single-purpose editor who has since left in horrible marketing jargon. After the editor left, all the marketing jargon was stripped out. As a result, we're now left with an article that doesn't really say much at all. However, I've now had a look at the scale of the business, and I think there's a reasonable chance of establishing notability. As a result, I suggest Keep if someone is prepared to change this into a worthwhile article, or Merge to its parent company's article if not. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 19:12, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
  • Comment. I've added some additional references and content. The article is still fundamentally a stub but I would reiterate a Keep and then Rename to Homefinder.com |► ϋrбanяeneωaℓTALK ◄| 22:27, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
