• very strong keep this website is very notable it reached national media attention b/c the website was the reason behind the expulsion of a high school senior who created it, he was expelled for being gay and promating the gay lifestyle through this website, perhaps a merge with xy.com since they are going to be working together.Qrc2006 21:17, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

  Media attention to some school scandal, one of many, does not mean free promo of a nonnotable website in wikipedia. `'mikka (t) 21:50, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

• With regret, Delete. My rationale is solely that the site is unavailable, thus cannot possibly be notable, whatever its status in its principal's expulsion from school. However I feel this should be allowed to be recreated once the true notability of the site can be determined in the future. Fiddle Faddle 11:29, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Ok, let's look through this one. It's involved in a somewhat big and important newsevent that occuring in a region of the United States, it is gaining attention, and it's something that people will be looking for when reading about this topic. It only helps the experience of a reader that is trying to obtain all the information. Also, this meets the clause of non-trival coverage. Yanksox 11:32, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Also, I think as of right now, the nominator's statement about the site being promotional should be negated since it's clearly not used as promotion but for informing our readers about a recent newsevent. Yanksox 11:34, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. This article is about a nonnotable website. If it is "gaining" attention, wait until it "gains" it to become notable. Wikipedia is not a tool to help it to "gain attention. Mukadderat 02:48, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Wikipedia is not here to document the latest non-notable website betas, especially if they are a result of an incident at a local school. We don't host articles about non-notable bands, why should we host an article about this website? In other words: fails WP:WEB and spam per nomination. alphaChimp^(talk) 23:17, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
