This page is often used by webhosting businesses to improve SEO and/or promote their business free of charge. Also, it's hard to find a source specifically for this article, since they are often unreliable or from vendors (see WP:SELFPUBLISH, and also WP:ORIGINAL). Instead of keeping this article, web hosting could mention it briefly. I noticed I did something wrong during the deletion process, sorry. User:Tetizeraz. Send me a ✉️ ! 17:15, 14 April 2018 (UTC)

Keep/Merge - not sure I can discern any reason for deletion here. Sources such as Nate Cooper's Build your own website (No Starch Press, 2014, isbn 978-1593275228) discuss how to use Wordpress among other topics: there are plenty of published sources available. The existence of spam isn't a reason for deletion, either. Chiswick Chap ( talk) 19:54, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
- Chiswick Chap my point is, as it stands, the information in the article could be either deleted or merged to Web hosting service. Web hosting providers can provide free and paid services, there no need for a separate article. Guild hosting service is another article that is too specific and niche, for example, but if you think about it, does it makes any sense? There could exists pages specific to law agencies, to hospitals, etc. User:Tetizeraz. Send me a ✉️ ! 13:45, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
- Merge to Web hosting service, as an editorial opinion. The article is currently unreferenced, but I am certain refs exist for much of the content. Comparison of free web hosting services is also worth considering here. power~enwiki ( π, ν) 02:05, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
- I could agree for a merge to
Web hosting service, and would then proceed to do the same with other pages related to web hosting services.

- Merge is fine, if there are WP:FORKing articles then of course it's in order, but AfD is not needed for that process.

- Delete. With zero sources, this is all WP:OR. I have no objection to talking about this subject in Web hosting service, but with no sourcing, a merge per-se, makes no sense. Moving OR somewhere else doesn't magically make it valid encyclopedia content. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:15, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
