[edit] Sykospark

Webpage selling t-shirts with a discussion forum geared toward goths/punks. Returns 277 unique Google hits [1]. Scanning those results, I found blogs, myspace, other fora—nothing implying any notability or which would help it meet WP:WEB. Google link search returns 11 results [2], the majority of which are are to internal pages of the site. Alexa rank of 437,339 [3]. I hope they sell a lot of t-shirts but I don't think Wikipedia is a proper vehicle to increase sales. Prod removed.--Fuhghettaboutit 17:12, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

• Sykos Park isn't ment for selling shirts, its to convers with other people like you—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.201.9.108 (talk • contribs) .
  • Certainly it is possible that I am overemphasizing the commercial aspect of the site; I am not intimately familiar with it as I'm guessing you are, and the t-shirts may be a mere afterthought. Nevertheless, I don't think this site is notable enough for inclusion in an encyclopedia.--Fuhghettaboutit 17:24, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
    • It's extremely possible you are overemphasizing the commercial aspect of the site. They only sell two t-shirts. If selling a t-shirt is means of deletion on wikipedia why not the Something Awful entry as their website contains a full store selling tons of Something Awful items? They also have a forum which you must pay to become a memeber of. I don't understand why that entry is ok, but this one should be up for deletion because of two t-shirts and a button. I'm not hating on Something Awful but just pointing out that if the Sykospark entry should be deleted because you think it's about making money, why other entries that do the same but on a much grander scale aren't even mentioned. --Rev.Phill
• Delete per nom, no reliable evidence that subject meets WP:WEB. --Kinu ^t/_c 17:52, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
