[edit] International Idiocy

Non-notable website (google finds 1 link and 5 mentions). Started in spring 2005 but not launched till December 2005. Delete as not meeting WP:WEB. (If this looks like it will be deleted, I will also put the newly-created category up for deletion.) bikeable (talk) 17:41, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. -- Kicking222 19:02, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as non notable. Also, these guys gave themselves a category Category:InternationalIdiocy which should probably be removed as well. IrishGuy 19:46, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy delete, as it's a vanity page that does not assert its significance. Anyway, besides WP:WEB, surely Wikipedia is not a soapbox. LjL 19:49, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. DarthVader 22:18, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - Articles on this site have been written before by several different people, it's time we start recognizing that this is a legitimate site. VanillaX 02:21, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

The test is not legitimacy. The test is notability. Have any reliable sources other than the site ever covered it? First become notable, then get an encyclopedia article. GRBerry 02:56, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, fails WP:WEB. ergot 13:56, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
