[edit] Universe Today

Non-notable space and astronomy news site. So far out there that it doesn't even register for an Alexa rank, delete. --Hetar 05:06, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. It is a weblog, cf. WP:WEB. --Jadriaen 05:15, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:WEB. It's actually got a rank of 38k, but that's pretty low. Melchoir 05:32, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Universe Today is a pretty popular website in astronomy circles, and sends out a newsletter that reaches 30,000 people or so every day (the site itself gets a million hits a month, I think, and has a very lively forum). Definetely noteworthy. Andromeda321 17:20, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep UT seems pretty popular and borders on notable. I am a subscriber myself which might have influenced my vote, I therefore voted weak.(voted on May 10th but didn't sign vote)Kalsermar 15:39, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep Universe Today has been around for years. It's no fly by night website and it's sponsored by Phil Plait the Bad Astronomer. I listen to him on the radio sometimes. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.143.239.77 (talk • contribs) .
