[edit] FurNation, Furtopia, Furbid, Furnet and Burned Fur

The listed pages basically constitute a furry web directory, all four websites are, to the average reader, not notable websites, Furtopia, Alexa 125,383, FurNation, Alexa 50,248, Furbid 287,286, Furnet: IRC newwork Alexa 4,535,135. Burned fur is some sort of furry advocacy group, defunct since 2001. Subculture advocacy is not the role of wikipedia, delete--nixie 14:16, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • Merge into Furry, adding to external links, or Combine into a subwiki, like List of Furry Websites or Furry/List of Websites. --Kitch 14:58, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • Wikipedia isn't a web direcotry, that's what you are proposing--nixie 23:20, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Make them External links in the Furry article, but neither combine nor redirect, as that would be an implicit assertion that Wikipedia endorses them. RickK 22:38, Mar 29, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as per RickK's suggestions. Guettarda 23:58, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete - agree with RickK, not inherently worthy of an article. Average Earthman 07:49, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Combine into a subwiki. Deleting is rash. While I personally find furries to be distasteful, it's a notable subculture and any insight into the "movement" is of encyclopedic value. Sniffandgrowl 01:13, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)
