[edit] Ubersite

Unfortunately this site has lost a lot of its Alexa popularity as it has consistently dropped pretty well below average for notability of a website. The page is filled with biases, unverifiable information, and is a relatively frequent target for vandalism. Please let me know your opinions. Thanks, JHMM13 (T | C) 22:55, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

I have been trying to edit out the bias here and there and I'm not so sure I agree with you saying unverifiable, but there is regular vandalism or at least bad editing and I agree that Uber is in decline. I've been a member of Ubersite for a long time and I'd like to see the article remain, but unless someone prooves its notability in some other way I have to agree that based on its alexa ranking it shouldn't be here.

This site is still pretty well-used, with several thousand users. That so many have come to Wikipeia is part of the proof of its worthiness. If we all take it seriously, this can be a valuable, informative article. D prime 01:02, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

"Pretty well-used" is not proof of notability. Please consult WP:WEB. Also, please do not remove the AFD tag from this article. Thank you. JHMM13 (T | C) 15:28, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

 AFD relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

• Delete, fails Google test, badly. --Dhartung | Talk 06:40, 26 October 2006 (UTC
  • There has to be something funky about the results Google is giving. I don't know what results you got on that first search, but I got 164K hits. After adding another filter to exclude the site's own results, I still got 36K hits. Neither of those counts strikes me as an obvious flunk of the Google test, so I presume you must have gotten some much lower number. As for the second search, it's telling me that Ubersite has ZERO inbound links, but that can't be right. For one thing, it should be showing an inbound link from the Wikipedia article! It has a link, and calling up the cached page confirms that the version Google has includes the link. Also, you'd have to believe that NONE of the Wikipedia rippers took the Ubersite entry (or that all who did took some version that didn't have the link). Thus, those results have to be considered unreliable due to some quirk of Google. --Groggy Dice 17:04, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
