I am a bit confused why a well written and documented article (my first) about an up and coming social networking website with well over 25,000 subscribers and almost 150,000 unique visitors each month (http://www.crunchbase.com/company/socialvibe) is any less relevant than Sandis Valters - a Latvian guard who plays for ASK Riga...

I'm not a jock, nor a sports fan, so I can't address the Sandis Valters issue; but I know that there are rules saying that at a particular level of pro or amateur play, athletes are inherently notable (I call it the Moonlight Graham rule). This article needs footnotes and references from reliable sources (BusinessWire is an archive of press releases) to document current notability (Crunchbase just measures raw traffic), rather than the deadly "up and coming" assertion. --Orange Mike | Talk 13:31, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
