[edit] BNR Metal

Owner-operated website that fails WP:V and WP:WEB. Useful for metal fans but not sure it belongs on WP. Deizio talk 10:38, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. The site is very well-known within the metal scene and even beats Wikipedia on Google results pretty often, but it doesn't seem to meet WP:WEB. Alexa rank: 86,046. Prolog 12:00, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - per nom. Anomo 07:36, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep--this site is very well known and gets a lot of traffic. Plus it is a great resource. --Eastlaw 23:22, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - fails WP:WEB, nn in scope of human knowledge, and who cares if it's a great resource, WP is not a directory. Tony fanta 03:03, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Articles are judged against the relevant guidelines & policies, not other articles. Deizio talk 23:04, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
I wasn't trying to judge the article, I was trying to understand what the guidelines & policies say about web pages that makes Encyclopaedia Metallum notable and not BNR. It wasn't a rhetoric question and I wasn't implying that if Encyclopaedia Metallum is notable, then BNR is, nor that if BNR isn't then E.M. isn't either.

Comment. Well, EM have been covered in a published magazine, have 80,000 members and 40,000 bands. Their Alexa traffic rank is also pretty good, 4,373. Prolog 10:12, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
