[edit] Liberty Post

• Delete non-notable political forum, no claim of notability is made. Wikipedia is NOT a soapbox. RWR8189 21:47, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Keep

First of all, it is a notable political forum.

Secondly, you could have brought your concerns up on the talk page prior to invoking an unnecessary afd debate/vote, especially since this article has been up for several weeks without anyone else expressing concern over its notability.

For the record, here is some site information,

http://www.alexa.com/data/details/main?q=libertypost.org+&url=http://www.libertypost.org/

Traffic Rank 18,864.

Sites Linking To LP: 879

Plus, it has been in existence for almost four years, and has traffic that dwarfs some of the other weblogs/political forums that have Wikipedia articles devoted to them.

• Delete minor, non-notable political discussion group. Akradecki 22:21, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Also, this is not advertising.

I didn't create this article-contrary to your assertion-in order to promote Liberty Post, or to generate traffic for the website itself.

I did so because it is a moderately popular political website, which I thought deserved to have an entry.

For the very same reason, I expanded the stub on Freedom Underground, even though that site is much less popular, and-by the same criterion used to flag this article for deletion-notable.

Thanks for the heads up on Freedom Underground, I have also listed it for deletion.--RWR8189 22:43, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

You seem to be quite the deletionist.

Good luck pruning.

You're going to have your hands full.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_White_Rose_Society_%28website%29

Another website, that has been the subject of two previously unsuccessful afd attempts, which-according to your criteria-is of dubious notability.

I'll try to link to a few hundred more so that you'll fulfill your quota today.

• Keep Doesn't an Alexa rank of 18,000 indicate that it's quite popular? Drett 01:23, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Comment It's been over five days since this afd nomination was made.

So can we safely assume that this debate is closed?
