Contested prod. Site seems to fail WP:WEB as just another fan forum. --Mr. Lefty _{Talk to me!} 21:25, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete WP:WEB fail, also - Threads: 9,635 | Posts: 118,524. Fancruft[2]. Alexa rank - 319,804. --Andeh 09:59, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Keep: Harmless article for a very notable gaming site. ~~~~ Serenity Now

So notable that it has an Alexa rank of 319,804? Delete as quite non-notable. — Dark Shikari ^talk/_contribs 13:01, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Keep Alexa is exceedingly inaccurate. So inaccurate that if 10 staff members used a Google toolbar (or whatever they use now to track their statistics), a said website would rocket 50,000 spots up in one week. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.65.89.167 (talk • contribs).

• See WP:GOOG. Yes, we're aware of there being some flaws with judging a site's popularity through Alexa, but they don't apply here. Delete. Daniel Case 14:20, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
• Even going by the number of users and posts on the website, and the number of google hits, this forum is still not notable enough. It either has to be extremely popular or have media coverage, both of which usually go hand in hand. For example, the EVE Online forums (I always use this example in AfD) have over 370,000 threads and probably a millions or tens of millions of posts, over a hundred thousand active users, and an Alexa rank of 5000 or so, yet still doesn't qualify for a Wikipedia article. — Dark Shikari ^talk/_contribs 14:23, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Striked out as IP is user whom already voted keep, see history.

Keep This is hardly about Talk Xbox's forum, rather its main site, which has had frequent and relevant content surrounding the Xbox/Xbox 360 for the past 4 years. If sites such as Xbox Evolved can have a Wikipedia entry, I really don't see why Talk Xbox, which is 10x better known, can't. However, if it must be deleted, so be it. 15:17, 7 August 2006 (UTC) Serenity Now

Then perhaps you should AfD Xbox Evolved as non-notable? I doubt it would be kept ;) — Dark Shikari ^talk/_contribs 17:29, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Striked out vote, as user already voted above.--Andeh 18:44, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
