Comment What does establish notability for a website if not traffic and page ranking?

Delete: I can't find significant coverage for this search engine. Joe Chill (talk) 20:35, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Is the wikipedia standard for a website article simply or primarily having news or press coverage? It seems to me that press coverage is a poor standard of notability. Actual use of the website IE traffic and page ranking is, by nature of the actual purpose of any website, a significant measurement.

Comment – Unfortunately, popularity does not equal Wikipedia notability. Also see WP:POPULARPAGE for a discussion of the fallacy of page view stats in determining notability. ttonyb (talk) 00:02, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
