[edit] Lostpedia

Clearly an advertisement. The user who created this page only has Lostpedia related contributions. The website does not meet anything on WP:WEB. Jtrost (^T | C | _#) 00:24, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

• Comment What about an external link at Lost (TV Series)? Danny Lilithborne 03:12, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

  To me, that sounds appropriate. But the place to discuss that is Talk:Lost_(TV_series). Of course, there's no reason not to be bold, make the edit, and see what others think. --Hyperbole 06:56, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

  Lost (TV series) does not link to any fansites because there are too many of them. If we allow one then the next thing you know there will be dozens. Jtrost (^T | C | _#) 12:38, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

  I tend to think a Wiki and a fansite have different values as an external link; where a personal website proclaiming that Lost is sooo cool is not worthy of an external link, a popular wiki with numerous active editors and a wealth of information probably would be. --Hyperbole 15:51, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

The Lostpedia receives 200,000+ hits/day, has over 156,000 Google references, grows at ~20% per week. Go ahead and delete it from the wikipedia, but it is one of the most popular Lost related sites on the Internet. 67.180.162.75 20:28, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete though I will say I personally would not be opposed to a simple external link off the main Lost page.--Isotope23 16:11, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete - Yes let us lose this piece of useless information Aeon 18:06, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete this page, but a link from the main Lost (TV series) page would be appropriate. Homestar Runner has a link to hrwiki.org, for example. --Elkman - ^(talk) 19:06, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
