== History ==
The former domain name of Timway was hksrch.com. It was created in July 1997.

Algorithms8: /* Notability and Uniqueness of Timway */

''This article was subject to a deletion review, which can be viewed at [[Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2007_July_9]].'' --[[User:ZimZalaBim|Zim'''Zala'''Bim]] [[User talk:ZimZalaBim|talk]] 02:00, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

==Notability and Uniqueness of Timway ==
** 1. Academic Research and Recommendations (University Ones):
*** University of Hong Kong
**** Web Searching in Chinese: A Study of a Search Engine in Hong Kong - Timway being the major academic research target of search engine by Professor Michael Chau, the School of Business, University of Hong Kong.; showing that Timway is one of the major of player of Chinese search engines/searchable directory. http://www.business.hku.hk/~mchau/papers/WebSearchingInChinese.pdf
**** Mining the Query Logs of a Chinese Web Search Engine for Character Usage Analysis http://www.business.hku.hk/~mchau/papers/CharacterUsage_PACIS.pdf
**** HKUL > Research Guides > Recommended Readings/Reference Source: http://lib.hku.hk/general/research/guides/reference_sources.html

*** Hong Kong University of Science and Technology: Timway is one of the selected subject directory/searchable directory as mentioned by the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Library webpage. http://library.ust.hk/guides/effective-web.html

*** The Chinese University of Hong Kong
**** One of the useful links in the department of Mathematics in CUHK: http://www.math.cuhk.edu.hk/en/UsefulLink/
**** Mr. Tim Yu (PSY 99), founder of the search engine Timway.com which is featured in the seminar of "Entrepreneurial Wisdom - insights for a successful career in business and beyond” http://www.cuhk.edu.hk/shaw/ShawNet/0504/ealumni.htm

** 2. Timway's (domain name was hksrch.com) early start of its history in 1997 July marked a very important/significant milestone for the establishment of Hong Kong searchable directory or search engine that is much earlier than Yahoo! Hong Kong. (started in 1999) http://hk.yahoo.com/beginner/yhk.html
*** Timway.com was founded in 1997 and the previous domain name of it is hksrch.com for Hong Kong people searching information in HK. As you can see in the domain name registration, it is first created on 1997 Sep for the domain name. With regard to the very difficult spelling of hksrch.com, the domain name has been changed to timway.com in 1999. With its 10 years of presence in HK and many people using it, (The Alexa ranking of it is 3341, http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?q=timway&url=http://www.timway.com/). The presence of it is very valuable to a lot of Internet users.

** 3. Major player in the Hong Kong portal/search industry:
*** Also, when you type "hong kong search engine" in google for finding HK webpages, you can find that it is ranked in the top 1 position. http://www.google.com.hk/search?source=ig&hl=zh-TW&q=hong+kong+search+engine&meta=cr%3DcountryHK Therefore, it is really the top most important, especially in the field of "hong kong search engine"
*** In addition to this, you can see that timway.com is one of the biggest portal/website in Hong Kong. (source: http://searchmarketing.hk.yahoo.com/newcustomers/serviceintro/a3.html) (as you can see in the flash demo, timway.com's logo is just placed next to msn's logo)
*** Besides, sina.com.hk (a very popular Chinese search engine) use timway.com in addition to google for finding HK webpages. http://search.sina.com.hk/cgi-bin/timway/searchtimway_xg.pl?_searchkey=shopping

:Sorry, but that fact that some universities and other web portals include links to Timway doesn't make it inherently [[WP:N|notable]]. --[[User:ZimZalaBim|Zim'''Zala'''Bim]] [[User talk:ZimZalaBim|talk]] 01:22, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

I agree that if some universities and other web portals simply link to a website doesn't mean it has notability.
However, I want to make the following reasons for why deletion is contested:

* if you try to look at the serious academic research. Timway is of research focus and academic area is interested in Timway. The research is interested in it because of its business value and technology value. Also, the founder of Timmy Yu, who is often invited by universities to give talk to students, meaning that it is of high academic value and students are interested in the topic. (please refer to point 1 of this talk page)

* Yes, if the other web portal simply link to it doesn't mean it is of high notability. However, if you try to click on http://searchmarketing.hk.yahoo.com/newcustomers/serviceintro/a3.html You see that Timway's logo can be seen in the middle of the page, being highlighted as one of the best major partner with Yahoo! This page states that Timway is one of the five most closest partner of Yahoo! for the Yahoo Search Marketing. Without notability, Yahoo! won't mention it in this page.

* the notability of this page has already been discussed. And the resolution is to keep it.

* Please try to read again the talk page. I will give you more reasons for notability. [[User:Algorithms8|Algorithms8]] ([[User talk:Algorithms8|talk]]) 06:36, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

== Timway ==

A tag has been placed on [[:Timway]], requesting that it be [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedily deleted]] from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the [[WP:CSD#Articles|criteria for speedy deletion]], articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please [[Wikipedia:Notability|see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable]].

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add <code>{{tl|hangon}}</code> on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on [[Talk:Timway|the article's talk page]] explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria [[Wikipedia:Notability (people)|for biographies]], [[WP:WEB|for web sites]], [[WP:BAND|for bands]], or [[WP:CORP|for companies]]. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. —'''[[User:C.Fred|C.Fred]]''' ([[User_talk:C.Fred|talk]]) 02:30, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

If those sources were found before the AfD closed, I may have reconsidered :) I suggest that you appeal at [[WP:DRV|deletion review]] so that the general community may take a look at the additional sources. '''[[User:Sr13|Sr]][[User talk:Sr13|13]]''' 08:08, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

OK, so you got the [[Timway]] article [[Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2007 July 9|resuscitated by DRv]] from [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Timway|death by AfD]]. It is still not a real article. Are you going to [[Wikipedia:Article development|write a real article]] or do we have to invoke the machinery in order to prod you into action? [[User:Hu|Hu]] 00:05, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for reminding. The article of Timway is created again.

Algorithms8: Notability and Uniqueness of Timway

### Notability and Uniqueness of Timway ###
** 1. Academic Research and Recommendations (University Ones):
*** University of Hong Kong
**** Web Searching in Chinese: A Study of a Search Engine in Hong Kong - Timway being the major academic research target of search engine by Professor Michael Chau, the School of Business, University of Hong Kong.; showing that Timway is one of the major of player of Chinese search engines/searchable directory. http://www.business.hku.hk/~mchau/papers/WebSearchingInChinese.pdf
**** Mining the Query Logs of a Chinese Web Search Engine for Character Usage Analysis http://www.business.hku.hk/~mchau/papers/CharacterUsage_PACIS.pdf
**** HKUL > Research Guides > Recommended Readings/Reference Source: http://lib.hku.hk/general/research/guides/reference_sources.html

*** Hong Kong University of Science and Technology: Timway is one of the selected subject directory/searchable directory as mentioned by the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Library webpage. http://library.ust.hk/guides/effective-web.html

*** The Chinese University of Hong Kong
**** One of the useful links in the department of Mathematics in CUHK: http://www.math.cuhk.edu.hk/en/UsefulLink/
**** Mr. Tim Yu (PSY 99), founder of the search engine Timway.com which is featured in the seminar of "Entrepreneurial Wisdom - insights for a successful career in business and beyond” http://www.cuhk.edu.hk/shaw/ShawNet/0504/ealumni.htm

** 2. Timway's (domain name was hksrch.com) early start of its history in 1997 July marked a very important/significant milestone for the establishment of Hong Kong searchable directory or search engine that is much earlier than Yahoo! Hong Kong. (started in 1999) http://hk.yahoo.com/beginner/yhk.html
*** Timway.com was founded in 1997 and the previous domain name of it is hksrch.com for Hong Kong people searching information in HK. As you can see in the domain name registration, it is first created on 1997 Sep for the domain name. With regard to the very difficult spelling of hksrch.com, the domain name has been changed to timway.com in 1999. With its 10 years of presence in HK and many people using it, (The Alexa ranking of it is 3341, http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?q=timway&url=http://www.timway.com/). The presence of it is very valuable to a lot of Internet users.

** 3. Major player in the Hong Kong portal/search industry:
*** Also, when you type "hong kong search engine" in google for finding HK webpages, you can find that it is ranked in the top 1 position. http://www.google.com.hk/search?source=ig&hl=zh-TW&q=hong+kong+search+engine&meta=cr%3DcountryHK Therefore, it is really the top most important, especially in the field of "hong kong search engine"
*** In addition to this, you can see that timway.com is one of the biggest portal/website in Hong Kong. (source: http://searchmarketing.hk.yahoo.com/newcustomers/serviceintro/a3.html) (as you can see in the flash demo, timway.com's logo is just placed next to msn's logo)
*** Besides, sina.com.hk (a very popular Chinese search engine) use timway.com in addition to google for finding HK webpages. http://search.sina.com.hk/cgi-bin/timway/searchtimway_xg.pl?_searchkey=shopping
