• This newsgroup has a FAQ published by faqs.org and a Wired article, for starters. Per the primary notability criterion given in WP:WEB, it is therefore notable. (Compare Rec.sport.pro-wrestling (AfD discussion), Sci.psychology.psychotherapy (AfD discussion), and Alt.tv.real-world (AfD discussion).) Keep. Uncle G 13:04, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete usenet groups generally don't need individual articles. Maybe it can be merged somewhere though. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:44, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, doesn't meet WP:WEB. One blurb in Wired from 10 years ago doesn't satisfy criteria 1, which is what I suspect Uncle G was aiming for. Having its faq posted on www.faqs.com isn't anything special in and of itself, as I believe it collects faqs from usenet indiscriminately. -- stubblyhead | ^T/_c 21:08, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete — As above, not every single newsgroup hierarchy needs to be put here. — RevRagnarok ^{Talk Contrib} 02:05, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
