[edit] Ozzfest forums

This is a non-notable web-based messageboard that fails to meet WP:WEB. I had originally listed it for Speedy Deletion under WP:CSD-A7 as a vanity page since it is being used to "glorify" its members (the list of posters). The explanation for {{hangon}} can be seen at Talk:Ozzfest forums. Also, contains original research and commentary on an "invasion" on the board by a rival board. -- moe.RON ^{talk | done | doing} 00:06, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

What's wrong with a Wiki site about our favorite place on the net? You got articles about every other thing in the world on here... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Driftwood666 (talk • contribs) .

There's nothing wrong with it providing you meet the standards. Take a look at Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines and WP:NOT and see if you can rewrite your article to meet them. Yomangani 00:21, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Can we keep the article if we take the members off? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Driftwood666 (talk • contribs) .

Please sign your comments, however helpful they may be, by adding ~~~ at the end. Tonywalton  | Talk 00:19, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. And Driftwood666, comments like "stop being a bunch of dicks" hardly help your case. Tonywalton  | Talk 00:19, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Well, the "dick" thing was uncalled for, but come on...give us some slack...we just want an article...can you just tell us what to do to keep it? Driftwood666

You claim on the talk page that the subject of this article is "real" and "important". OK, my neighbour's dog is "real". My shoe size is "important" (to me, if I'm buying shoes). If you can make a case as to why next door's dog and my shoe size merit Wikipedia articles purely on my having asserted that they are "real" and "important" you may then be able to make a case as to why this article merits a place on Wikipedia.

Your neighbor loves his dog, don't he/she? And I'm sure your shoes are very nice. I'm sorry, but I really have nothing besides the fact that the Ozzfest board just wants to be on here...Driftwood666

• Delete. Forums are not inherently notable. In order for a forum to be notable, it must be known outside its own community for something, have been covered by multiple secondary sources, or simply be extremely popular with a very good Alexa rank. For example, the EVE Online forums have an Alexa rank an order of magnitude higher than your forums but still don't have their own article, because there is nothing inherently notable about them that merits an encyclopedia entry.

• Delete. Wikipedia is a tertiary source and this provides no secondary sources to verify any notability — which it lacks. -- Alias Flood 01:25, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, "the Ozzfest board just wants to be on here" won't cut it. NawlinWiki 01:31, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
