[edit] Web-beacon

Web directory with an Alexa rank around 100,000, no evidence of innovation, significance, reach. Looks like a fail on WP:WEB, article is a stub anmd unsourced. Not spam, though, creator is a good-faith editor. Just zis Guy you know? 14:05, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep - An Alexa ranking shouldn't be a criteria for deletion. While this particular web directory might not be considered notable to the general public, it is notable to people interested in web directories. (Most web directories might not be notable to the general public, but if we deleted every article that was on a topic that wasn't considered notable to the wide public, we'd be deleting an awful lot of articles.

  • Weak Keep if awards listed can be verified probably meets the WP:WEB criteria. Eluchil404 20:29, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. The "awards" listed do not satisfy WP:WEB. For example, FriendlySites.com states "If you are a website owner or have a personal webpage and you would like to have the FFS emblem display on your website and be listed in the FFS Directory, just agree to the FFS Guidelines and submit your website URL." AWomansResoure.com says "Do you have a family friendly website that would be of interest to women? If so, feel free to apply for A Womans Resource Excellent Site Award!" and then lists six basic requirements, among them "4- The website award must be placed on the websites main page or awards page." As far as I can find, SafeSurf.com does not bestow actual awards; it simply lists child-friendly classification requirements for their rating system. Many, many non-notable sites are registered on these three website directories. --Satori Son 15:12, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
