[edit] Wikicpa
Non-notable website; doesn't meet WP:WEB. Founded in May 2006, it can't really be that notable, can it? Ruaraidh-dobson 15:19, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
- Something new can't be notable. how is that. As far as I know nothing like this site exists on the web. Will it be notable and ok to remain here in 6 months or 12 months...when it gets to 500 or 1000 articles, is there a rule on this somewhere that I am missing? Jimmy R 15:35, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
- The rule that you are missing is Wikipedia:No original research. Wikipedia is not the place to write primary source, never-before-published, documentation of a web site. Please cite and use sources that are about the web site and that are independent of the web site. If you cannot write an article based upon sources independent of the web site, don't write.

- Comment I was making a general comment, rather than making mention of a rule. I just don't think the website meets WP:WEB. Have a look, and see what you think. Ruaraidh-dobson 15:41, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
- Comment The rule is Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. No way to predict in six months if it will be getting 10,000 articles a week or two a month. Everyone who creates a website believes it will be popular. Most are wrong, and the best minds can't predict which ones will succeed. That's why we wait until after they have proven themselves.

- Delete. Does not meet any of the three criteria set forth in WP:WEB. --Satori Son 19:58, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per others above. Perhaps when it's been along a while longer it will be notable enough for an article.--Chaser T 21:38, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
