[edit] EncycloZine

Nn encyclopedia site. No incoming wikilinks. No "link:" results. No media coverage. Long edit history, though, but fails WP:WEB -- Perfecto 02:38, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. -- Perfecto 02:38, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
• Neutral for now. I'm unsure over this one. Can anyone find anything verifiable about this site, like has it been mentioned in many magazine etc? I don't think the site visually looks that good and it seems like i could be just another web encyclopedia that doesn't do much. But there are over 100,000 Google hits, which appears way too many for something which appears as non-notable as this does. Is there something else with a similar name?

• Delete as non-notable website. Alexa rank of 310,798. "Amazon affiliate" means nothing; anybody can create an Amazon affiliate account for free. —Quarl ^(talk) 2006-01-04 02:59Z
• Keep. See no reason to delete this even if the website is defunct. -- JJay 06:04, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom and as vanity/advertising. The original author is user:Alan Richmond who is mentioned in the article as the zine's co-producer. Zunaid 11:26, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Domain looks to have been taken over by one of those search sites that buys up expired domains with any Google hits, contents of the article is substantially unverifiable, site appears not to meet [{WP:WEB]] (a guideline, not a policy, but a good indicator of whether a site is prominent enough to be verifiable from reliable sources). I suspect the Google hits are the result of search engine optimisation. Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] AfD? 12:15, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
