[edit] Stickpage

De-proded, but notability concerns never addressed. Article fails WP:WEB and WP:V as its claims of notability are unreferenced. The site currently has ~8,000 members and claims "10,000+ members" prior to a site revamp, and boasts an Alexa rank of 10,296. I'm not impressed, but perhaps the community will feel otherwise. If the page is to be kept it will need cleanup; one editor has assisted in removing some POV and OR claims, but the article requires a serious de-POV workever. -- Scientizzle 23:14, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

• Keep I remember when stick man animation was a big deal a few years ago. Agree that it requires some serious POV work.Arevich 00:46, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I, the creator of the article (and mostly all of its content), have been struggling to keep PoV out of the article. Many members of the StickPage community continue to add their personal opinions of StickPage Forums, despite the facts that 1) the article is not about SP Forums, and 2) it's pure PoV. Otherwise, I've been going crazy over this deletion issue. I'm not quite sure what it is that needs improving, otherwise I'd gladly change it in a heartbeat. If anyone would like to help me out in cleaning up the article, it would be greatly appreciated. It's an article about a legitimate web-based business, and I believe it should stay.

• Keep, decent Alexa rank. Kappa 23:45, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete 10,296 is not a decent Alexa rank. BigE1977 03:29, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Delete was torn on this, but the words "one of many websites" kept jumping out at me; what makes this better than the other many ones? WP:WEB criteria, while steep, is not really addressed even minimally in the article. -- moe.RON ^{talk | done | doing} 19:24, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

• Comment: does this website have anything special about it? Is it one of the first of its kind? Does it have any other claim to importance? —— Eagle (ask me for help) 01:12, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete: There is no article here. "X is Y. Click." What on earth does anyone learn from the 'article?' That there is a site with stick figures? In other words, the article is a web guide, and Wikipedia is not a web guide. This would be true if the site in question were top 5 or bottom 5: the article is a web guide entry.

• Keep and Expand Clearly not a advertising article. would say it is a decent alexa ranking. since we have had websites with alexa ranking of above 100,000. --Ageo020 02:23, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. I see no claim to following WP:WEB. Alphachimp ^talk 02:47, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete no particular notability claimed, and uninformative article. -Goldom ‽‽‽ ⁂ 04:50, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

• Keep and Expand Lack of originality is not an automatic qualifier for deletion. This could be developed further into an article which gives a better view of the site and mentions the trend as a whole. --Khatores 04:58, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. This is like an expansion of what should be an external link in stick figure. --Dhartung | Talk 06:02, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - per Dhartung. --Doc Tropics ^{Message in a bottle} 06:36, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
