Somehow this article came back after being voted delete per csd-has been tagged for notability for 7 years now and still has nothing that makes it stand out. Wgolf (talk) 16:23, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete. This website doesn't seem to be famous in its own right, and only brushes up against fame (such as the unreferenced mention on VH1 claim). Also, the article is a mix of present and past tense, but it seems to be defunct, so in its short life it didn't do anything particularly noteworthy. I was going to say merge it with the article about the founder, but he was already merged with another article, so this seems like a topic on the far periphery of topics that already barely clear notability.--Esprit15d • talk • contribs 19:02, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Erm. I tagged it for notability in 2007 when it was two sentences long and had no refs. It's certainly been expanded quite a bit since then, and some refs have been added. None of the refs are very good in the sense of being notable publications. There's not a mention in Rolling Stone or Spin (do they still have that) let alone the New York Times or whatever. Still... it's a lot more than just a stub. Somebody's put some work, love, and care into it.... the refs, while not notable, are not negligable, and some are sufficiently reliable to probably be true, I guess. I guess I'd say that notability is surely not established per WP:GNG, but on the other hand the Wikipedia is not paper and I don't see this as a particularly bad article... I'm not gonna vote. I'm just pointing out these things. The person closing can interpret my comment as she wishes. Herostratus (talk) 13:26, 14 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
