[edit] Empornium

Keep. It's not indecent, has no suggestive languauge, or pictures, and refers in a casual way to it's content. Fundementalism has no part in everyones lives. See a good psychiatrist if you're stuggling with the voices in your head.

KEEP! I dont care if it is porn Wikipedia is not for children and this is one of the most highly rated sites on the web. Its alexa ranking proves that.

Is this an ad? Is it business vanity? Is it not noteworthy? Take your pick. Ifnord 18:44, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

• It should be speedily deleted. I don't think anyone would want to look this up in public.  Denelson83  18:45, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Distasteful subject-matter is not a criterion for speedy deletion. Haeleth

• Speedy Delete non notable. --Reflex Reaction 18:52, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Notability is not a criterion for speedy deletion. Haeleth

• Keep. Has an Alexa ranking of 3172. KeithD (talk) 19:05, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. It passes the criteria suggested by WP:WEB, both in Alexa rank and in number of registered users. Yes, the subject may be distasteful to some, but Wikipedia is not censored for the protection of minors. Haeleth 19:22, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
  • I agree except this isn't a speech issue, it's corporate vanity. Do we support that? I hesitate to be swayed by the number of users as it may be an outright lie just generated on their website. Not speedy, simply delete. Ifnord 21:42, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep--term gets 32,000 googles and passes WP:WEB. Meelar (talk) 19:23, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per nom.Gator1 19:30, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - unless someone turns it into an actual stub. Alr 19:32, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
• Comment added cleanup tag because right now the article doesn't even qualify as a stub. It has unsource claims of membership as well. I'm not voting yet... If this article gets a rewrite and sourcing for claim before the AfD finishes I will go keep.. otherwise I will vote to delete.--Isotope23 20:08, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

I've done a quick rewrite, but it's still just a stub. The number of registered users is shown on the front page of the site. It currently stands at 406,197. KeithD (talk) 20:20, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

• Keep per alexa under 4k ∴ here…♠ 22:17, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Seems to be a notable web community. --Carnildo 23:16, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, very well known in the BitTorrent and online porn worlds, rewritten to NPOV stub. MCB 00:40, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
• Comment if kept, this should probably be a DAB page since this is a type of store and there is another site using www.Empornium.com which might one day be noteable. Vegaswikian 05:37, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
