The result of the debate was KEEP. Though this is a little short on votes, there is no dissent apart from the nominator. The turnout is low, however, so if there were a renomination sooner than usual, I don't think it should simply be disregarded. -Splash 02:47, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Boards.ie

Is there any reason why a page is needed for this relatively minor irish centric bulletin board? It has it's own wiki for it's history and I dont see why it needs an entry in an encyclopedia Bastion 06:48, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Looks notable enough for me, and I don't think information on a page should make it inelligable for a Wikipedia article. Explodicle 16:43, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

Fair enough, I just thought that even though there's no limit on the amount of articles on wikipedia, that having an article for a site, that no-one who doesnt use the site would be interested in - is pointless. After all, it's called "Wikipedia, the free encylopedia" not "Wikipedia, pages for the top XX,000 sites". --Bastion 09:37, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

• Comment. Alexa ranking of 18,356. Fernando Rizo T/C 17:03, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep large membership and decent article. Rkevins82 18:55, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

• Keep boards.ie are a national institution, albeit in a low key way. They are a vital part of the understanding of the development of an Internet culture in Ireland.
