Keep. Honestly, I suspect that any web site that has been around since 1994 is notable. The web was a different place back then to what it is now. There are reliable sources, for instance this one that I was reading only a couple of weeks ago. Was a scifi.com site of the week: [1]. Professional publishers quote reviews from this site on their back covers. This is clearly a notable web site. JulesH (talk) 19:33, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Also, apparently it is featured in Mann The Mammoth Encyclopedia of Science Fiction, ISBN 1841191779, although I can't find a copy to look at so cannot confirm how much depth is included. JulesH (talk) 19:38, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. It was drawn to my attention after I saw a handful of edits by the user who created this article on other articles on my watch list. It has been my observation that link-spam edits like those, when combined with the page creation as here, are often WP:COI related. As for "websites around since 1994", I know of quite a number of long-established, well-regarded in their field, websites that do not appear in WP for various reasons. Time online is not a sign of notability.SpikeJones (talk) 20:36, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
