  • Comment please see this AfD's talk page for a note from the article's creator. --W.marsh 01:42, 23 March 2006 (UTC) Copied and pasted below for convenience.
    • The page is currently number 10 of 4,300 forums as seen on: http://invisionfree.com/directory.php?cat=42 --Motumbis 01:34, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
      • Comment InvisionFree itself was nominated for deletion (albeit speedily kept), and eventually stripped down to a bare-bones article. The forum host itself is barely notable. It's individual fora, really, are not. --Hyperbole 23:46, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete for the awful logo as WP:VSCA, per the above. Sandstein 05:45, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete non-notable. --Siva1979Talk to me 15:46, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
  • so, is my article still going to be deleted or not? If it is, tell me what rule it is braking or at least a specific reason so that I can try to fix it. Everything contaied in the article was used with direct permission from the author of the page (I also help create the site and desiged most of the graphics) including the logo and images. --Motumbis 23:30, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
The article looks very likely to be deleted simply because the forum isn't notable enough to merit an entry. With 122 members as of this writing, it looks unlikely that anyone who isn't directly involved in the forum would ever visit, or edit, the Wikipedia page. That means that the page would end up being forever POV and unencyclopedic (which, I submit, it is) and would be unlikely to ever meet Wikipedia's standards of quality. Get yourself a few thousand more users and a few mentions in major national or international publications and your forum may then become notable. Incidentally, I myself made the same mistake last year: I submitted a web forum I belong to with 298 users. The article was deleted. --Hyperbole 23:42, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
To read up on the specifics of what Hyperbole is saying, please look at the links given above by Mr. Roy (that is; WP:WEB, WP:VAIN, WP:SPAM). Kuru talk 04:39, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
