[edit] HackThisSite

I think this site is non-notable. It has an alexa rank of around 80,000 and returns no google news hits. There is no other claim to notability in the article. --best, kevin [kzollman][talk] 08:45, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Weak keep You forgot to mention the 40,000+/-[1] Google hits :) Please note also that Google News does not reflect coverage older than a couple weeks. — Adrian Lamo ·· 11:30, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete this crappy little three sentence entry. Why on earth would anyone come to Wikipedia to find this instead of looking in a search engine? Wikipedia is not a search engine. Compiling a list of all known websites is a task for a search engine company, not an encyclopedia. Wikipedia will never be Google, and shouldn't try to be. Brian G. Crawford 18:02, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - Just because an article is a stub, doesn't mean it should be deleted. HackThisSite has been mentioned several times on high profile blogs like engadget, and hackaday. It is definatly notable via Google hits, and Internet communities, not JUST one, but many. --lightdarkness (talk) 18:23, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
    • Any thoughts on what might be added? --best, kevin [kzollman][talk] 19:02, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep per Lightdarkness. It's quite notable among the hacker community, and warrants expansion. Rob T Firefly 01:53, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. No assertion of notability. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Fagstein (talk • contribs) .

  • Weak keep http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=hack 2nd on Google, I confess this article was originally started by a user to poke fun at the site and to throw derogatory comments at the staff, but I'm sure someone could expand and make this a useful article. I agree as it stands it's not worth the space it's taking up, but there's still hope for it yet. IceShaman 01:22, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand. -- infinity0 17:09, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
