Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/LoadingReadyRun

LoadingReadyRun

Nonnotable website. Alexa rank 2,643,824[1]. Differently named article on site was twice speedied. This version was sufficiently different that it was decided to give them a week or so to show notability. It's been a week and a half, and there's been no activity on the page for three days.

Don't Delete Article is not a stub, most items requiring citation have been cited. There seems to be a reasonable number of people interested in the subject matter to make it notable, Google search shows around 9000 search results[2], subject matter is well known within a community [3] -- Basscomm 19:23, 20 June 2006 (UTC), content has won an independant award [4] Basscomm 19:35, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

comment Well of course it is well known within the community of its own official forums. Also, if you filter out hits from the official site, you only get 3750 hits. Note also that all of Basscomm's 8 current edits concern the article and this nomination.--Drat (Talk) 09:01, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

comment I registered an account so my edits would have some accountability. I normally just fix typos. Their forums show that there is a reasonable amount of people concurrently interested in the topic per the Importance Guidelines. Basscomm 16:55, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

comment Forums are generally disregarded in terms of notability. The site only has 491 users anyway. If that's notable, we may as well have articles on every website with more than a few hundred users in their forums, because "Hey! They're well known within their own forums!" Besides, a simple persusal of the memberlist shows fully 220 of those users have never posted [5], and another 100 or so have less than 5 posts[6].--Drat (Talk) 17:45, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Alexa rank criteria is flimsy. Mr. Lawrence has an Alexa rank of 5,462,316 [7]. -- Basscomm 05:21, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - that article doesn't show any reason why that person is notable. The same goes for the other blogger articles created by the author, Mr. Babylon and Ms. Frizzle (American blogger). All three seem prod-worthy as unremarkable.--Drat (Talk) 05:27, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

comment Websites do not require much traffic to have influence or be notable. In fact, if one were to accept the film industry as a metaphor, many people saw "Wedding Crashers" a year ago, but that movie is non-notable in comparison to something like "The Battleship Potemkin" which has been watched by relatively few people. Now LoadingReadyRun is no Sergei Eisenstein directed enterprise, but insofar as it has (or could be argued to have) a cult following, has won numerous awards, and has repeatedly caught the interests of several larger sites, it is notable.

comment regarding some of the comments on your forum. It would've been nice for some of you to have gotten back to me, asking for more clarification or other ideas, etc., after I posted on your talk pages. I'm not going to screw around and give you a whole wiki-tutorial. I have limits on my patience. Please also note that other editors have agreed that this merits deletion.--Drat (Talk) 18:04, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Don't Delete On the edge though --Korandder 02:03, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- comment. To quote Stifle from another afd some months ago, "Isn't it funny how 'Do not delete' and 'Don't delete' only show up on this kind of article?".--Drat (Talk)
