[edit] PopMatters

The article sounds like an ad for a website, and even assuming that all the claims in the article are true, it does not assert notability close to the level of WP:WEB, in my opinion. Wmahan. 05:05, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep - It seems that if what this article says is true, then it's notable enough to stay. If interpreted strictly, "The content itself has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself." would lead one to assume this site is not notable, but having content and authors quoted by the many news agencies listed in the article should make this notable enough. --Daniel Olsen 05:50, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
