Before everyone goes nuts, please consider the following:
- Wikipedia allows for a civil debate on deletion matters. That's why the talk page is there.
- Back up your arguments with logic and facts instead of floods of "YOU ARE WRONG" - that will get you nowhere.
- Don't flame anyone for their opinions.
- Most of all, let's defend the notability of Ycombinator. As a tech entrepreneur and professional blogger, I believe that A) YCombinator is very notable for not only who it invests in, but it's unique style and that B) People benefit from that information. So I will argue with logic, facts, and courtesy. I hope you all do the same as well.
- iamdave 18y agoHow about instead of running in blazing with integrity, already prepared to disagree with someone we "please expand or rewrite the article to establish its notability." and bring it to Wikipedia standards?
- Mystalic 18y agoThat's a given. The article isn't up to wikipedia standards at the moment.

- Goladus 18y agoFrom the Wikipedia Notability Guidlines page: If it is likely that independent sources could be found for a topic, deletion due to lack of notability is inappropriate unless active effort has been made to find these sources. For articles of unclear notability, deletion should be a last resort. That's why people "go nuts." Whoever nominated this for deletion was either lazy and stupid or just looking for some drama.
