[edit] Podcast Pickle

This non-notable podcasting directory and forum site fails WP:WEB with few or no references in print media. It lacks reliable sources and is not verifiable. Alphachimp 20:55, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

• Weak Delete - doesn't appear very notable, and all I could find was a small mention in the Sun Herald but nothing noteworthy Jayden54 21:03, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Changed my vote to 'Weak Delete' now that I know of the Time link. It's still only one small mention in a huge list, so I'm not entirely convinced that makes it notable enough, but I'll be keeping an eye on the article and this discussion to see if anything changes.

• Keep - Voted by Time as one of the "Cool Sites" of 2006. It is one of the largest and most important podcast directories. It's also tied into the Scott Sigler page. Darrik2 21:16, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

  Comment: I'm not quite sure about the Time link, but the Scott Sigler tie in to Wikipedia really isn't sufficient to establish notability. Of particular concern about this article is the fact that it lacks verifiable, reliable, published sourcing. Alphachimp 21:22, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

• Keep but cleanup: Time is plenty notable.--Ac1983fan 20:59, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

• Keep There are nearly 150 podcast directories on the web, but only two that matter - and this is one of them. And the directory is only part of what the Pickle offers to both podcasters and listeners. If you're going to include podcasting, you need to include ways to find podcasts, as well as resources for podcasters. This site provides an abundance of both, including a very active community of podcasters. Time Magazine picked this out of literally billons of web sites as one of the 50 coolest - that's not trivial. Hittman6 23:02, 23 December 2006 (UTC) Hittman6

• Keep There are references and there are references: meaning, not all references are the same. Time is one of the three or four most important print publications in the world. In my view, a citation as one of the "coolest" sites by Time Magazine is more than enough, in itself, to warrant inclusion in Wikipedia. I'm going to do a little cleanup now.PaulLev 15:53, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
