[edit] Vivahate

Article has been speedied before but as creator points out on talk page the article has been significantly improved since then. That said, it's still just another blog website. Francs2000 | Talk 02:02, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Wikipedia is not a web directory. android79 02:07, August 12, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep VIVAHATE is a legitimate site. There are other articles in wikipedia just like it.

This does NOT meet the speedy deletion criteria. There are articles on wikipedia about very similar websites like myspace and livejournal. it is an unbiased, informative article on a popular website. It is in no way promoting or advertising for the site. Who would try to advertise on an encyclopedia anyway? The article was deleted initially because it was incomplete. It is now complete and should be reconsidered.

• • There is a huge difference between LiveJournal and one persons blog. LiveJournal is the software that hosts thousands of blogs - this is a blog. It's like saying that if we have an article on the Welsh, we should have an article on a Mrs Jones from Pontypridd. Average Earthman 11:30, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

• With all due respect, delete. I speedied the original entry as link spam. After he e-mailed me, I told the author that if he wished, he could put up the article and see what the community thought of it as I didn't want to have an argument with a registered user who seems to mean well. I also tried to tell him that Wikipedia just plain stinks as an advertising medium. I've visited the site. It's a blog page, nothing more. - Lucky 6.9 02:22, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete: unless it is featured in the news media, like thefacebook.com has, or is otherwise notable, it is not an encyclopedic entry. -- Bubbachuck 03:08, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep This is worthy of an article. --Apyule 05:42, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Comment: The author asked me to reconsider. While the article looks good, I'm still convinced we're talking garden-variety blog page, especially after visiting the site. No change of vote beyond agreeing with the redirect to the Morrissey album. - Lucky 6.9 16:31, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

• Don't Redirect: If it has to be deleted, then thats fine. VIVAHATE.com is not associated with the Morrissey album. The title on the album is clearly two words anyway. - User: Heatmoney63
  • Regardless of your website's non-connection to Morrissey, it is a viable misspelling for the album, and wikipedia often has redirects for such things (although not for typos). -R. fiend 20:57, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

• Delete nn. Blog, huh? Yeah, I heard there were a few of them around. -Splash 02:10, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Some non-notable person's blog isn't automatically notable. I don't see any particular fame for this blog in the blog community or the older media. Average Earthman 11:30, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete—Not bad for bloggy vanity, but non-notable vanity neverytheless. Add it back once it gets bought out by MSN and changed to Vivayouth. --Tysto 20:50, 2005 August 13 (UTC)
