Non-notable website. A handful of other outlets have picked up on rumors posted by the site but there is no actual in depth coverage. Praxidicae (talk) 16:40, 6 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment this here in Wired is the best reference from the article, but more is needed for WP:GNG, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 16:53, 6 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]


Keep iLounge appeared to have been listed on the Time magazine[1] and The Telegraph[2] under its most useful websites.

Big news websites such as BBC News, Engadget[3], TechCrunch[4], Ars Technica[5], CNET appears to have followed up with iLounge for iPhone/iPad/iPod related news and updates for many years. - Hakhan201 17:58, 6 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Being on a list of 50 "interesting links we think you should click" is not in depth coverage. It's a two sentence blurb with 50 others, despite it being from TIME. Same goes for this. The rest are not independent, reliable or in depth coverage. Praxidicae (talk) 18:37, 6 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Praxidicae is correct. This fails software notability criteria by a mile. ☆ Bri (talk) 21:45, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Even though many references are provided, the fact that only brief or trivial mentions of iLounge are made is insufficient to demonstrate notability. WP:WEBCRIT explicitly states that trivial statements or simple reports are inadequate. Additionally, the mention in TIME and other well-known sources still fails WP:INHERITWEB in establishing notability because it is not significant or devoted coverage, regardless of the credibility of these publishers.
