This article does not establish verifiable notability per WP:N and WP:WEB. Jminthorne (talk) 05:16, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Response: I don't claim to know anything about Wikipedia, but there are several pages for other high-traffic internet forums on here. Just thought there should be one for a forum that's been around for a decade now. I was inspired by the Wiki page for SomethingAwful, which has been around just one year longer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bfett81 (talk • contribs)
Delete. Can't find any third-party coverage for this forum. (BTW, Bfett81, what you said isn't quite enough to keep an article on Wikipedia; see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS.) Erpert (let's talk about it) 05:50, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Response: Here is a Kansas City Star article wherein Chiefsplanet was mentioned by nationally syndicated Sports Columnist Jason Whitlock: http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?p=6732254#post6732254 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bfett81 (talk • contribs) 16:43, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - That's only a trivial mention of the forum on the forum. Erpert (let's talk about it) 17:46, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - Yes, but I had to post a link to the article on the forum because the article itself, which was in the Kansas City Star, is now a 404 link. I could prove that the article does indeed exist, but I would have to pay 2.99 for the KC Star archive. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bfett81 (talk • contribs) 23:00, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - Chiefsplanet is also referenced here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Kansas_City_Chiefs_quarterbacks#cite_note-What.27s_up_I-38 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bfett81 (talk • contribs) 23:05, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      - Other Wikipedia articles aren't third-party sources. Erpert (let's talk about it) 23:13, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:WEB. In response to Bfett81, SomethingAwful has more than 10 times more members than "chiefsplanet", so it isn't particularly wise to try to compare the two. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 16:48, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
