[edit] Chainofthoughts.com

Chainofthoughts.com (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

No notability established. Nothing found on a Google News Archive search. Of the references cited, BBC link doesnt mention the site at all (except the screenshot) and the other 2 are blogs Corpx 17:01, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

• Weak delete. If US presidential candidates are starting to use the site for advertising, and if a major news publisher does a story on this, then it's a slam-dunk keep. In the article's current state, however, the website's notability seems peripheral. One of the two blog stories is a Fast Company writer on a FC website, so I give that source a little more credibility. Still, the article doesn't currently back up anything other than its role in the Virginia Tech tragedy mourning. —C.Fred (talk) 17:07, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

• Delete as NN. —Disavian (^talk/_contribs) 20:23, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, members of the site are "advertising" for their favored candidates, and the major news publisher did a story about something else where they showed a screenshot of this as an example. That's basically trivial. Fails WP:WEB. --Dhartung | Talk 22:00, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
• Weak delete since perhaps there will be additional sources found during the course of the afd. One good source would make it, as C Fred says. DGG (talk) 01:28, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
• Keep, I found two more supporting references, one in a discussion regarding the next generation of tag clouds (joelamatia.com) also, supporters of candidate Mike Gravel using the site for promotion (in line with comments by C.Fred). Are more than 5 references needed? Pundit8086 02:32, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

• Blogs dont count as reliable sources Corpx 02:35, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

• So presumably if the BBC article actually said the name of the website, then this would pass, if I understand the consensus?Pundit8086 02:47, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
• No, not just mention the site. It has to be about the site or talk about it significantly Corpx 02:48, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
• No problem, I'll just get the BBC to re-write the article. Pundit8086 03:04, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
• Comment. Yeah, I'm skeptical about the credibility of either of the blogs, though truthdig.com could be up in the air for me. —C.Fred (talk) 03:05, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

• For the record the truthdig reference is a podcast. The creators of said website had enough notability to actually get an interview with the candidate. Pundit8086 03:11, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
• The site is not mentioned anywhere on the transcript though Corpx 03:38, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
