Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cosmopedia

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was delete. Keep votes fail to realize that a website needs to be significant before it goes to Wikipedia, it does not use Wikipedia to get famous. Delete votes more well reasoned than the keep votes, so deleting in spite of less than two thirds majority. Sjakkalle (Check!) 10:56, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cosmopedia

MediaWiki site with only 4 articles. Doesn't sound too notable to me. Staecker 22:05, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. Every site has to start somewhere including Wikipedia. If it's still fairly empty in a month, then discuss deleting it. --Walter Görlitz 22:36, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. I agree with Walter. --Galaxy001 23:24, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. That's not how this works. The prerequisites for Wikipedia articles are eminently clear. --Agamemnon2 00:30, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Cosmopedia's administrators should have a chance to tell the world about it.--Robotics Fan 02:55, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. When it is notable, then we can write an article. Rmhermen 03:05, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Walter. --Terence Ong 03:44, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Wikipedia is not a method of promoting this site and that site. --W.marsh 05:06, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete: the site has barely over 500 google hits, and is so insignificant that it has no Alexa ranking at all. -- Thesquire (talk - contribs) 01:58, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Creation in Dec 2005 is a good indicator this does not have the notability to merit an article. Moreover, the site itself is singularly underwhelming. As a "physical sciences" wiki, it leaves an enormous amount to be desired at this time. Denni ☯ 02:30, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete with prejudice, suspecting meat/sock puppets. Ifnord 02:57, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. So if we delete it, can we add it again when it is more notable (e.g. when it exceeds 100 articles)? --Galaxy001 01:25, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Of course. Although I'd say if it becomes more notable. Notability always changes over time. Today's vanity article could be tomorrow's featured article, if the notability of the subject changes. Staecker 13:34, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
