PROD was removed by an SPA. My concerns before were: Fails WP:WEB. Other than this article at the time of the site's launch, I can't find anything which provides significant, independent coverage of the site. Unless some better sources are found, we shouldn't have an article.
Two extra sources have been added, but I still don't think these are sufficient. SmartSE (talk) 12:41, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Here are a few reasons the HitFix article should remain active
- Alexa has HitFix ranked 14th among entertainment news sites putting it above other household names in that space. I've added a reference to that list in the article
- HitFix is often cited by other reputable news outlets as a source. I've added a few references to the article, but a search for "Hitfix Reported" in Google, will show many more.
- I've seen the HitFix article referenced by several other wikipedia pages although I'm not sure how to dig those up.
- Two of the HitFix contributors have their own Wikipedia page Dave1279 12:06, 2 July 2012
Additionally 637 pages on Wikipedia reference HitFix http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=hitfix&title=Special%3ASearch&fulltext=1 Dave1279 10:40, 6 July 2012 — Dave1279 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
- None of those are sufficient for us to have an article. As I said before we need "significant, independent coverage" of the site, which there does not seem to be. SmartSE (talk) 18:54, 22 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete None of the sources are really about hitfix. They are about other things and trivially mention hitfix in passing. Stedrick (talk) 14:53, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
