[edit] FictionAlley.org

• Delete. I do not believe that the article in question is sufficiently notable to merit inclusion in Wikipedia. — Mike • 03:52, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, we don't need an article for every Harry Potter web site out there, the main ones already have established articles and I believe that is quite sufficient. Death Eater Dan (Muahaha) 05:25, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:WEB --Alphachimp ^talk 06:33, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep. It certainly comes close enough to several requirements of WP:WEB to merit retention (and some sort of {{cleanup}} or {{wikify}} tag). It has been nominated for a Prix Ars Electronica award and Webby. The external link in the article shows that a significant amount of mainstream media has reported on this website. More importantly, following the external links shows that this was granted 501(c)(3) status by the US IRS as an educational entity. I suspect that you must have some notability to get the attention of the IRS (especially if it's anywhere as near difficult to get as is the equivalent designation in Canada).

• Weak keep per Agent 86. --Coredesat 10:12, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. After fanfiction.net, this is another one of the few massive fanfiction websites a lot of people know. Alexa ranking is fine (34,675; not staggering) but together with the mainstream media coverage and its *IRS status it should give them sufficient notability. - Mgm|^(talk) 11:10, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, when it wins a webby recreate it. Until then, and given the information at hand, it fails WP:WEB. - Motor (talk) 13:08, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Just another webforum. -- GWO
• Weak Delete It fails WP:WEB but could be kept with a clean-up and reduction of non-encyclopedic content. doktorb | words 20:39, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete looks like an advert to me. --->|Newyorktimescrossword 21:58, 21 June 2006 (UTC)|
• Delete nn fanfiction site, failing WP:WEB --WinHunter ^(talk) 00:16, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. In 2100, nobody will care. --Alex S 06:14, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete non-notable fansite. --Musicpvm 05:26, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete fansite with Alexa rank of 36,010. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 17:35, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
