[edit] Spank! Youth Culture Online

nn, does not meet WP:WEB, and article fails to convince me otherwise Wisden17 21:10, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

I quite confess I've never started a page before, but following a conversation on the website (whose wiki entry is in question) we decided we needed an entry here. More detailed and properly formatted information will follow. This was just to get the page up so we'd have a place to begin. I'm sorry for my ignorance of the etiquette.

• Delete. Fails WP:WEB. --Danielrocks123 23:10, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

• Please Save: I'm Stephen Cassady, the Publisher of Spank!, and here's a few bits we'll add shortly. Other than being the longest running Youth Website (and I have references from books to confirm)(launched almost 11 years ago, we're older that Bolt.com - which has an enty), and we've been running constantly since launch. The WaybackMachine should show some early shots of the site. We continue to run, and exist. Our name (11 years old) comes from "brand spanking new", and the use of "fresh" associated with it. We've worked with most major record companies, IBM (on thier World Avenue Project commerce project back in the 90s, and even on the cover of their promotional magazine, we've won awards from numerous people including the New Museum of Art in NYC.

• Criteria: I'll see if I can dig up the citations refering to Spank! in the books, and some of the awards to help back this. Stephen.

• Delete, WP:NOT a web directory. Advertisement.KleenupKrew 21:01, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, ad, fails Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate source of information. --Coredesat talk 22:41, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Non-notable advertisement. The publisher had a week to add the info he claimed he would, and nothing has been added that would possibly sway my vote. -- Kicking222 23:16, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
