[edit] IPodNova

IPodNova (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Does not assert notability, does not meet WP:WEB... PaulC/T+ 16:12, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete, non-notable filesharing site, only Google results are either trivial directory entries or forums/blogs. Demiurge 16:19, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Running, iPodNova is an unique torrent site, which provides iPod content through bittorent. it has more than 112,830 members[1] & had uploaded more than 465 TBs of iPod optimized videos while IsoHunt the notable BitTorrent Tracker claim they have over 275.42 TBs of Torrent files. This wiki article isn't about advertising, it provides interesting information to people around the globe. You are kindly requested to keep this wiki page alive. --Szayat 17:22, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment - This isn't really about the content of the site, in fact the site looks very well done. The problem is the lack of assertion of notability for inclusion in Wikipedia. You can imagine why this would become a problem. If any website could just have an article on Wikipedia it would be impossible to make sure things were accurate (as it is things are very hard). Ironically, it seems the best way for torrent sites to gain notability is to get sued :/... That said, it seems that many other torrent sites have articles on wikipedia... I'm not really familiar with many of them, but how does this website compare? (Mininova, TorrentSpy, isoHunt, The Pirate Bay, Empornium - AFD AFD2, Suprnova.org) Are they more or less notable than iPodNova? Focus on the 3rd point of WP:WEB, where did you first hear about the site? PaulC/T+ 22:06, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep Running I think it is interesting that this site is the only site on the internet that is ipod format exclusive. There isn't any non-video d/ls available, and all of the movies are mp4. Another interesting point about the site is that many of the ipod videos are optimized only for the ipod, (it will look grainy on a computer screen or tv screen, but great on the ipod) whereas the iTunes ipod offerings are made to be put on a bigger screen as well as on the ipod. -----Tokyogirl79 5:07 am 12/19/2006
  • Keep Running I think it is a valuable resource
  • Keep Running To answer the claim that iPodNova is not notable, I have to absolutely disagree. I came to it after seeing torrents from it on both Torrentspy AND Mininova, and I have since moved all my upload/download traffic exclusively to iPodNova, AND I have donated money to a site that has constantly and consistently been improving since I joined in April of 2006. To answer the negative comments about Google search results...I have to say that I don't know what search term was used, but when I entered "iPodNova", the very first result was iPodNova.net". The site is now at http://www.iPodNova.tv and I actually changed the links to reflect that (the site crashed and was down for a few days recently). The previous link that was available (www.ipodnova.net) wasn't correct, since it was actually http://ipodnova.net (no www. before it). And, some person changed the membership information here on wikipedia from factually accurate information to factually inaccurate information. This has been corrected today, and hopefully will remain as is. I think a site that has well over 100,000 users, and is steadily growing, gets such positive feedback in the forums from its users, provides so much help to its users, and provides a variety of content that is not found anywhere else, specifically created for iPods...but that can be viewed with or without an iPod, deserves credit for being notable, and not criticism. It is still less than a year old, I believe, and the growth has been amazing. It is a MUCH better site than isohunt (which, in my opinion, absolutely sucks) and Torrentspy. It is well done all around, and this article should be allowed to remain, as it provides information on a valuable and useful resource, and a torrent index site that is better than others out there. Finally, I would never have signed up here at wikipedia if I hadn't seen this article linked on the forums over on iPodNova.tv JDRR22
