[edit] Dylan pool
Does not seem notable or important. Alexa ranking in the 64,000s. Mr. Lefty Talk to me! 21:54, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

- The ranking is low because the site is a game fans play during Bob Dylan's tours and Bob Dylan isn't currently on tour. The site is very popular and has been featured recently in the New York Times.Mappymousepd 05:09, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
- Keep per above comment: they're right, here it is. NY times article preview Also, the picture on the article (while bad quality and I can't tell what it is) is named something like CNN screenshot - a site featured on both CNN and the NY Times is certainly notable -Goldom ‽‽‽ ⁂ 05:12, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
- Ah, well, if there had been a link to the NY Times article when I found the page, I wouldn't have nominated it. Mr. Lefty Talk to me! 16:12, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
- Delete Being featured in a piece by CNN or the NY Times doesn't mean it merits its own article on Wikipedia. It does mean it is notable enough to mention in the Bob Dylan article itself, which is already done.—jiy (talk) 19:44, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per jiy's excellent reasoning. Stifle (talk) 22:01, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
- Keep I had no idea what the Dylan pool was, and this gives a perfectly adequate and useful introduction, which consequently would be difficult to place in a Dylan article.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.144.69.68 (talk • contribs)
- Delete per jiy. The above IP's vote is reason for a redirect, maybe. --Chaser T 09:06, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
