Rodovid

Non notable website. It lacks independent secondary reliable sources since most of them have conflict of interest with the subject. The only source "independent" (see google translation), is only about genealogy websites, which only briefly mentions the website. Not enough enough coverage by independent reliable secondary sources to stabilish notability per WP:WEB.

Weak Delete Even were the source in English, one source would be unlikely to establish enough notability. Assuming that Canstandya is correct about the Pravda article only making a passing mention, there is not enough to satisfy WP:WEB. GlassCobra 17:30, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. There is a significant history of discussion in English, but on wikis and community boards. There seem to be further sources in Ukranian, as indicated by a search for the Ukranian term. One can observe that the site is active, and significant in size - it has a large language-family of wikis, and a Wikipedia article in 6 other languages. I've asked the uk:wp editors to lend a hand, but they are not as active a wiki and may not get to it immediately. The site maintainers are themeselves wiki savvy, and could be worked with to clean this up; reason to improve and communicate rather than merge or delete. +sj + 23:44, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Weak keep - It seems there is at least a Pravda reference, and I would wait for someone proficient in Russian for better search. --Cycl^opia - ^talk 00:28, 15 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Does not present intersections from independent reliable sources = does not stabilish notability. Algébrico (talk) 02:33, 15 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment the term Родовод in Ukrainian could be translated as genealogy/pedigree/lineage. Most of the sources (I believe 99%), according to GNews (Ukrainian) [1] actually refer to "Родовид Банк" (Rodovid Bank), which is not related to the website at all. Actually, very little could be said about the website even in Ukrainian (Pravda only say very little about it. It is only a ROTM website among several genealogy websites). It still does not stabilish notability per WEB criteria. Canstandya (talk) 20:57, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
