Hi. I'm not really sure of the relationship of NewTeeVee and WebWorkerDaily to GigaOM. I can see that the sites are all interlinked and have ] as Editor in Chief. In the article page, I called them "subsidiaries" of GigaOM but I'm really not sure if that's the correct term. Feel free to edit! ] 06:04, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
==Fair use rationale for Image:LogoGigaOM.gif==
]
''']''' is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under ] but there is no ] as to why its use in '''this''' Misplaced Pages article constitutes fair use. In addition to the ], you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with ].

Please go to ] and edit it to include a ]. Using one of the templates at ] is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Misplaced Pages policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on ]. If you have any questions please ask them at the ]. Thank you.<!-- Template:Missing rationale2 -->

==Re: Notability tag==
Clearly, tagging GigaOM for ] is a bit ludicrous. I think these facts clearly merit its notability:
::' '' is among the top 50 blogs worldwide by Technorati Rank, and is part of CNet's 100 Most Influential Blogs'' '
Otterathome, can you explain why you think GigaOM is not notable?

:*Billbowery - read my comment on the ] AFD, unfortunately editor otterathome has a vendetta against webseries related articles going on that is sad and pathetic. --] (]) 01:20, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
:*Otterathome, the template is a statement that you don't think this article meets the guidelines, it is not an explanation of why. So, here's the question -- Can you explain why you think this article fails Misplaced Pages's guidelines? Please note that a mere reference back to the template you added is not a proper answer. Thanks! -- ] (]) 11:50, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
::*Uhm, you want me to copy and paste the template here? I didn't think an explanation was needed by looking at the sources. Source 1. primary source, source 2 is a stats page, and source 3 shows the website on a list of a 100 other websites. Here is the template for convenience though:
<!--{{Notability}} begin-->{{Ambox
| type = content
| text = This article may not meet the {{ #switch: {{lc:web}}
| notability = ''']'''
| notability (people)
| bio
| biographies = ]

Please help to establish notability by adding ] about the topic.

::* No, Otterathome, I didn't want you to cut and paste the template here. Don't be deliberately obtuse. The template is a ''statement'', it is not an ''explanation'' of ''why'' you think a template applies. Fortunately, you managed to (accidentally?) provide an explanation : <blockquote>Source 1. primary source, source 2 is a stats page, and source 3 shows the website on a list of a 100 other websites.</blockquote> That's an explanation, as opposed to the template, which is a statement. Statement != Explanation. An explanation is almost ALWAYS needed when applying a template, especially when an explznation is asked for. Makes your arguments go a whole lot smoother. -- ] (]) 12:14, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
:::*An explanation would be appropriate, but I didn't think so by looking at the serious lack of sources. Any editor with a basic understand of notability policies would know exactly why it was placed.--] (]) 16:06, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
:I've done some tagging to the article to assist editors in improving the article.--] (]) 12:12, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

== Notability Tags ==

As the article does not cite any independant coverage which isn't trivial so it doesn't pass our ] guideline so I added that template.

As the article does not cite any independant coverage which isn't trivial it(1), nor does it say it has won any awards(2) and as it is self-published by the authors(3) it doesn't pass our ]. So I have added the relevant template.

#From the website itself, not independant.
#A search result
#Top 100 blog list, trivial
#Article is about the author, his website gets a 1 sentence mention. Trivial.
#Article about a conference the website owner attended, nothing much to do with the website.

Editors are encouraged to find non-trivial independant coverage for this article which would invalidate both templates so they could be removed.--] (]) 09:32, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
