:*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 Wikipedia's guidelines? Please note that a mere reference back to the template you added is not a proper answer.

GigaOM Subsidiaries
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 Om Malik 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! Jonathan Stokes 06:04, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:LogoGigaOM.gif
Image:LogoGigaOM.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, 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 fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia 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 criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Re: Notability tag
Clearly, tagging GigaOM for WP:N is a bit ludicrous. I think these facts clearly merit its notability:
- ' [GigaOm] 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 (talk) 00:40, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
- See the template I added, it fails Wikipedia's guidelines.--Otterathome (talk) 11:39, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
