Primary sources

I've removed a number of primary sources from this article. There has been a lot of discussion above about puffery and WP:OR. While I firmly believe this company passes WP:Corp, this article is a mess of Wp:OR and comes across as an WP:advert. Toddst1 (talk) 18:08, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Here's an interesting, but minor source.[1] Now that's good PR for the firm... I'm not sure whether there's anything noteworthy or useful in there, but it is an interesting story. 3,000 cupcake orders from one promotion. - Wikidemon (talk) 21:42, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

A much more significant source.[2] But I'm inclined to think that reliable sourcing or not, "Groupon is so popular it overwhelms businesses" is a transient meme and isn't all that noteworthy of a claim about the company. - Wikidemon (talk) 03:51, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Most of the web development companies are making clones of groupon.com like the other top websites such as twitter, facebook, youtube, digg, wikipedia and etc. One of the top web development company Contus [3] from india had launched the clone of Groupon and the result was amazing. It seems that they have sold huge number of Groupon clones. Their groupon clone script is developed using magento platform and named as "groupclone".

We can view the Contus' group clone page http://grouponclone.contus.com/ and the groupon clone demo at www.groupclone.net. Some of the clones of Groupon.com are www.dealmeone.com, www.grouponi.com, www.woow.com.uy, www.arizonaslist.com, www.suburbanmomma.com, www.livraisongratuite.fr, www.liveoffcoupon.com, www.DailyVegasDeals.com and www.Dealdaisy.com

It shows the popularity of Groupon.com. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.248.152.177 (talk) 10:36, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

I think there are still some primary sources on the page, particularly the 4th cited source being Groupon's about page. thoughts? - Easowers (talk) 20:03, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
