The website appears unnotable or "one of many". The LATimes article, penned by a "freelance journalist", appears to be the only thing close to significant coverage, but the other sources currently used only name-drop the site (WP:PASSING). A short WP:BEFORE, including on Newspapers.com, show little additional information that could be sourced here. IceWelder [✉] 17:52, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

- Note to closer for soft deletion: While this discussion appears to have no quorum, it is NOT eligible for soft deletion because it has been previously PROD'd (via summary). --Cewbot (talk) 00:02, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

- That PROD was 12 years ago by a different user, though. IceWelder [✉] 07:10, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

- Keep and rename to Lego Users Group Network: Barely found any online article about the community, but it has received some coverage from books using the name Lego Users Group Network. I also found some reliable books which talk about it: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5] and [6]. With these, the article is good enough to pass WP:GNG. ASTIG😎 (ICE T • ICE CUBE) 16:00, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
- Superastig, I don't have access to most of these books. Could you verify whether the content justifies keeping the article? In some of the abstracts, it appears that there are just passing mentions of website, á la "there is also LUGNET". In the best case, the article could already be improved using these sources.

- IceWelder, it's best to use "Lego Users Group Network" in searching for any info about it rather than "LUGNET". Like I said, it has received some coverage from books, even in scholar. NONE of the sources I indicated are passing mentions since there are parts where it's talked about, whether fully or briefly. ASTIG😎 (ICE T • ICE CUBE) 12:54, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
