[edit] WikiZnanie

I can't find any notable sources in the article. FurryiamIAM 18:03, 23 July 2006 (UTC) To explain better: it fails notable (WP:WEB), WP:V, and WP:NOR. Basically wikipedia does not keep articles just because they have a website. Wikipedia requires a second party source like a newspaper article (please see those guideline links, it has to fullfill them). FurryiamIAM 19:21, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, Which specific points do you need sources for? Every fact here seems verifiable by going to WikiZnanie itself. Also, the fact that you don't know russian isn't a valid reason for an article's deletion. --Snarius 19:08, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
• Comment I have tried to explain myself better when I say notable sources (added to the top). FurryiamIAM 19:15, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Also, per Snarius' comment, the site has not had any outside media coverage. —C.Fred (talk) 19:35, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per all above. Ericj 20:02, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete unless sources other than the site itself can be delivered. BigHaz 21:44, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, per Snarius. --Nikolay Kolpakov 22:29, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Per Snarius. QuizQuick 02:07, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete To keep votes, please explain how having no source besides the website, or as Snarius said and the other keeps endorsed, "Every fact here seems verifiable by going to WikiZnanie itself" can meet notable (WP:WEB), WP:V, and WP:NOR? It doesn't seem to meet it to me. FurryiamIAM 06:03, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Wikiznanie played notable role in the beginning of ru.wikipedia, and noted in ru.w history. So, it is notable for Wikipedia at least. --Vovanium 07:59, 24 July 2006 (UTC) upd: At least these articles in ru.w based on Wikiznanie. --Vovanium 14:11, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete NN. Hardvice 12:36, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
• Comment Article updated: links to referring resources added. --Vovanium 13:19, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Wikiznanie is one of the largest wikies in Internet - more than 102000 articles (at least more than Russian wikipedia). It Does not fail conforms to WP:V and WP:NOR (as it is mostly based on old paper encyclopedia - at least no more than Russian wikipedia). It also has a DMOZ entry. vovkav 13:50, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, WP:POINT nomination, notable. --Conti|✉ 14:11, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: Russian Wikipedia cites WikiZnanie using special template - {{[[ru:Template|Викизнание]]}} - at least 30 articles as of 24.06.2006. More articles at RU: have had their templates removed. vovkav 14:22, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep basic sources are shown now --Evgen2 14:32, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep Article still needs better sources. --Peephole 19:21, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Verifiable and notable. `'mikka (t) 16:25, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Snarius. Content looks verifiable and sources and provided. Yamaguchi先生 02:45, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
