[edit] Geopedia

Geopedia (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This entry was written by the author of the project Geopedia (Grega Milčinski - see: [[1]]), unsorced and against NPOV and fails WP:WEB, so I suggest to delete or improve by any other editor. The service is written in Slovenian language and deserves the article in slovenian part of WP. --Francl 12:23, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment - since the US dominates internet content, should there be some consideration for smaller countries like Slovenia?--Esprit15d 14:57, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep. It's true that the service is in slovenian language and the area of intereset is Slovenia undoubtedly, but the technology used, is useful all around the globe. Maybe someone who has neutral point of view should write about the service (not the project manager). But it's true that Geopedia has very small amount of hits (1400 on Google English pages) and in spite of technical excelency is the "Causa Slovena". --MaNeMeBasat 15:21, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment - sorry guys, I added this entry in English WP because Template:GeoTemplate links only to this one. --Gmilcinski 1:05, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - WP:WEB. Little content. Tiptoety 01:51, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Neither the article here nor on sl: suggests much of wide use or notability (beyond being "the first interactive atlas of Slovenia"). Being based on Wikipedia is not automatic guarantee for success or longevity of a web project. en: should wait until sl: version collects more encyclopedical contents and somebody translates it here.
