[edit] Les Pages Jèrriaises

Les Pages Jèrriaises (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This website's subject is notable, but is the site itself notable? Contested speedy, so moving here. No opinion from nominator. NawlinWiki 20:04, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

I've tried to show its notability—it's the most prominent site by far for the Jèrriais language (and gets over 24,000 hits on Google). It is an important repository of old Jèrriais texts (some published, some unpublished), and it has been used extensively by those trying to work with Jèrriais who do not live on-island. I wrote up the article because I felt that it would be informative and that it deserves a little treatment here on Wikipedia. The Jade Knight 21:46, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
  • keep Certainly was not a suitable speedy, which is supposed to be for undoubtable lack of notability. It should have been obvious that this would be contested. I think a good case has been made for the website being N in its own right, as the principal website for a language..DGG 00:56, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of France-related deletions. (PS, I know Jersey is UK, but this language is more closely relate to French)--   ⇒ bsnowball  10:07, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Technically, Jersey isn't part of the UK, though it's a British Isle. The Jade Knight 21:44, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per WP:WEB. Primary website for a notable language with multiple references to establish notability (they really should have articles titles, though). -- Black Falcon 18:06, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
