[edit] MI6.co.uk

Disputed prod. Article doesn't demonstrate compliance with any of the notability demonstrators in WP:WEB. Seems like a run of the mill fan forum to me so I propose Deletion. kingboyk 11:04, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Please advise me how, as a Wikipedia newbie, I might selvage the article? I believe MI6 to be more than just a 'fanboy' page, but to be a genuine resource! As well as assisting local and international media organizations, MI6 is referenced on a number of Wikipedia pages it's self. I'm not here to cause trouble, but I would only like to see how I can better justify my contribution and all contributions I make from here. Cheers, --Paulus 01:24, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
    Has this forum been mentioned in reliable sources, such as newspapers and magazines? If it has, and you can mention them in the article, that would increase the chances of it surviving. Awyong Jeffrey Mordecai Salleh 04:10, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
  • This is the point I've been trying to get across. It is not merely a fan-forum. In fact the site is kept quite separate from the forums... MI6 is primarily a website. The site, MI6.co.uk (not to be confused with their forums), has been used as a information resource, quoted, etc by several well-known publications. Time Magizine, for example. I have added this to the article and found the appropriate link. --Paulus 05:11, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
  • I can't find the links at the moment but I have read in newspapers published in Britain and New Zealand, and articles from Reuters which have quoted MI6.co.uk when writing reports about James Bond. --Finwyn 01.52, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Further information on events MI6 have participated in running and external resources added
  • Keep British and international news agencies use the site as a semi-official source of information. Mallanox 12:27, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Conditional keep iff actual instances of being referenced are cited or other reliable sources are provided as references. Thryduulf 00:23, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
