Notability of this site appears to rest on having been slapped around by Elsevier (together with Sci-Hub, whence the coverage). However, that's the only time it appears in the news, and also appears to be only thing worth stating about it. I don't believe this is sufficient coverage and notability for a standalone article. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 20:35, 7 June 2019 (UTC) Elmidae (talk · contribs) 20:35, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I agree with nom. The only coverage I found was of the site being blocked because they're pirates, e.g., here. Per WP:ILLCON, coverage of one event in which it was determined that these guys are criminals does not do it for me. WP should not be offering them free advertising.

Delete While NWEB doesn't deal with the 1 event nature, I don't think its criteria in anyway support this for notability. Certainly no indication ofpassing NCORP. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 02:58, 8 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
