[edit] Bartleby.com
Refused speedy deletion. No ascertainment of notability. WP:WEB failure. Blood Red Sandman Open Up Your Heart - Receive My EviLove 11:18, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. WP:WEB is a guideline and in this case I think the notable content of Bartleby trumps it, if indeed it does fail. Looking at some of the contents, there is no other internet site which contains (for example) "The Cambridge History of English and American Literature in 18 Volumes" published between 1907 and 1921. Perhaps this 2000 press release gives an idea of what it's about. Sam Blacketer 12:17, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
- Strong Keep I did a search found some references and updated the article with them. Also a look at Special:Whatlinkshere/Bartleby.com shows Wikipedia is using the site as a reference on multiple articles. You may notice that one of the references on the article now is The National Library of Australia so clearly WP:WEB is met. Jeepday 16:22, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
