[edit] MurraysWorld.com

This website does not meet any criteria for notability. Specifically, it is "...not notable enough to be described by multiple independent sources..." (the main page is linked to by 27 pages as per Google, none of them notable). Further, the article does nothing to describe the website in an encyclopedic manner; it "...[offers] no detail on the website's achievements, impact or historical significance...." (Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information) I propose to delete the article and not merge it with Andrew Murray (tennis player); a link to this website as an external fan site already exists on the Wikipedia article.

• This site says exactly what and where it is. A fan site for a Tennis player at WWW.Murraysworld.com. It should not be deleted as the reasons are unreal. User:Tommy23 01:36 AM, 25 September 2006 {BST}
  • "This site [encyclopedia article] says exactly what and where it [MurraysWorld.com] is." (Please correct me if my inserted assumpions are incorrect.) Exactly! This encyclopedia article is nothing more than a directory listing linking to MurraysWorld.com. It is merely an article describing exactly what the website is, without any historical or cultural context, and exactly where it can be found; it is analagous to a directory listing of a restaurant by cuisine style and location. --Iamunknown 00:52, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete does not meet the WP:WEB. Echalone 00:50, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep reading, it tells about the sites start and what it is like today. It has no reason to be deleted! Thankyou very much. User:Tommy23 0200 25 September, 2006 (BST)
  • 'One more thing, you might want to read the area called site history? User:Tommy23 0203 25 September 2006 (BST)
    • Tommy, if editors have read the section on the main AfD page here, they'll know to read the article. It specifically recommends that editors "Please have a look at the article before making a recommendation. Do not base your recommendation solely on the information supplied by the nominator. For understanding the situation it may also help to look at the history of the article." Please consider re-reading the linked section. --Iamunknown 03:47, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. --Mais oui! 01:19, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
  • If you can all find another reason for it to be deleted please inform me. Hope there are no hard feelings Iamunknown. User:Tommy23 0306, 25 September 2006 (BST)

• Delete, seriously! Of no encyclopedic value. Thanks/wangi 02:58, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Sorry Wangi, but it may not be of no encyclopedic value to you, but for others it would be. It tells the history of a website that I and other may find interesting. Like many pages on wikipedia. User:Tommy23 0422, 25 September 2006
    • Please have a read of WP:WEB which are notability guidelines for articles about websites. This website does not get near meeting them. Also consider WP:ISNOT. Thanks/wangi 03:28, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

• KeepI have given plenty of information to why this page should not be deleted.(see former posts) That is the end of my work. If it gets deleted its not the end of the world for me or any other of the 700 members of MurraysWorld. User:Tommy23 0433 25 september 2006
• Delete per nom. Sdedeo (tips) 04:28, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, as there is no assertion, much less establishment, of notability. Sorry Tommy23, but the notability of Mr. Murray does not transfer to a website about him, particularly since the connection is tangental. Wikipedia is not a directory of websites.

I agree, I think it should be deleted, it has no encyclopedic value, it's been set up purely to promote a website and that's not what Wikipedia is about.

• Delete per WP:WEB, etc. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 12:51, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:WEB and per nom. Ramsquire 20:22, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nominator since it does not meet the WP:WEB guidelines. Yamaguchi先生 23:59, 29 September 2006 23:59, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
