  • Delete. Surely not encyclopaedic? Deb 3 July 2005 20:48 (UTC)
  • Delete. Unencyclopaedia--File Éireann 3 July 2005 20:51 (UTC)
  • Delete: NN, not in existence. Google returns 0 and asks me if I meant "signature." That Kevin Rose is notable, but this isn't. --Alex12 3 3 July 2005 21:00 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Revision3 Studios. The video version of Diggnation will be hosted by them. --taestell July 3, 2005 23:26 (UTC)
  • Delete notability not established. JamesBurns 4 July 2005 01:20 (UTC)
  • Keep Diggnation is an informative (yet new/imature) entry about extremely popular news/podcast/vidcast of a the new(er) provider of tech news. Question: You allow a Slashdot entry but want to delete Diggnation, Why? This seems to be unwarranted and biased deletion. --Kracker 6 July 2005 14:28 (UTC)
  • User's fifth edit.
  • If a Google search is all it takes to establish notability, then I should have an entry on Wikipedia. – Mipadi July 6, 2005 14:41 (UTC)
  • Keep Once there are more podcasts, the article will expand. EDsmilde
  • Keep Clearly if TWiT is OK then so should this. MicahMN | Talk 6 July 2005 14:45 (UTC)
  • Delete. Digg was deleted for a reason. --Hoovernj 6 July 2005 16:05 (UTC)
  • Delete. One episode of two guys talking about what was on their web site should not be note worthy. The only Venture that has been kept up os TWIT and that is only because the driving factor in that is Leo Laporte. --Azrichard 6 July 2005 16:13 (UTC)
  • Delete While I am a fan of digg, diggnation, systm, and the rest, this article is not encyclopedic. diggnation has released one audio and one video file. This hardly represents a notable societal impact. Give it time to prove itself and then recreate the article. As for redirecting to Revision3 Studios, there is nothing linking this project to Revision3 aside from its creator and the hosting of its files. Malakhi 6 July 2005 17:50 (UTC)
  • Keep Diggnation is an expansion of Digg and supplies valuable information to it's users and fans. --Great Dabisu 6 July 2005 17:54 (UTC)
  • First edit.
  • Keep I thought the idea of Wikipedia was to give people access to the sum of all human knowledge? This podcast has a lot of listeners, has two notable hosts (Rose and Albrecht) and is about a notable website (Digg.com). Very worthy of an entry on Wikipedia. And may I ask, why was the original Digg entry deleted? Digg is as worthy of an entry as Slashdot. Quite frankly, those of you who are saying these things are not notable should really pull your heads out from under a rock. — Peter McGinley 7 July 2005 00:19 (UTC)
  • If all you say is true, why not make the articles useful and not just leave them with a reference to Kevin Rose? That's what half of these articles have been, that's why they were deleted, that's why they should be deleted. --Mrmiscellanious 23:49, 9 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Nonnotable podcast about a website which was deemed nonnotable in a previous vfd and its article deleted. Insults, accusations of bias, and sockpuppets do not convince. Gamaliel 7 July 2005 00:28 (UTC)
  • Keep. The site rules, why delete it? Nikol4s
  • User's first edit.
  • User's sixth edit.
  • Keep This deserves an entry, for some reason wikipedians have a negative view on digg it seems. Digg deserves at least one article, maybe we just need ONE and merge the things that have to do with it. Yamix00 7 July 2005 17:25 (UTC)
  • User only has 9 edits, no article edits, all but one to VFD or VFU.
  • Delete. NN. bunnyhero July 7, 2005 17:54 (UTC)
  • Delete. NN, and I hope people would think before making alike articles in the future. --Mrmiscellanious 23:43, 9 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Give the article time to develop. 69.173.132.243
  • User's sixth edit.
  • Keep. If TWIT, This Week in Tech, which Kevin Rose is a part of, Can stay this should stay up and give them a period of time to see if 1)they expand their fanbase, especially with the launch of Digg 2.0 and 2)If the entry for this Podcast/VideoCast is expanded.
