If you came here because somebody asked you to, or you read a message on a forum, please note that this is not a ballot, but rather a discussion to establish a consensus amongst Wikipedia editors on whether a page is suitable for this encyclopedia. We have policies and guidelines to help us decide this, and deletion decisions are made on the merits of the arguments, not by counting heads.

  • Delete. I don't believe this meets the WP:WEB criteria. Google shows only 3 pages that link there, Alexa shows a 421,199 rank. It does have about 5000 registered members, but the site doesn't seem to be having much impact beyond those. Joyous | Talk 15:31, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - including things at this level of prominence would be completely unfeasable. Pseudomonas 15:42, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. It needs a little brushing up, but I think Wiki is just manually biased against articles for websites, it has deleted/considered deleting several in the past under the excuse that they are 'minor' when they are clearly not. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Thephantombumper (talk • contribs).
Comment this user repeatedly removed delete comments from this discussion and changed delete comments to keep comments. These changes have been reverted
  • But those hundreds of hits are generated from within the site itself. What we're looking for when we decide on including a site is mentions OUTSIDE the site under discussion. Our guidelines at located here. Go take a look, and if we've made a mistake based on those guidelines, let us know. Joyous | Talk 16:12, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep it please. I need somewhere to talk about A Series of Unfortunate Events with more new people. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Asoue edwin (talk • contribs).
    • Comment. We are not talking about deleting your forum; we are talking about deleting an article in Wikipedia. Austrian 16:52, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
