Decent Community

In my mind, this is a speediable article about a website that makes no claim of importance, however a speedy has already been declined. The reason given was the links on the talk page, which are unconvicing to me -- the best link was the number of readers, which is not a lot for a notable blog. Gsearch and gnews search coming up with lots of false hits, but nothing in the first several pages showing notability. Going the AfD route because the declined speedy tells me this isn't uncontroversial. Fabrictramp | talk to me 22:56, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I agree the article as it stands is speediable, there is no assertion of notability. Of the three links on the talk page, the first one is another blog. Come off it, blogs are not WP:RS and you certainly can't use one blog to reference another one. The Blues and Lasers link only mentions Decent Community because the band are mentioned on the blog. There is nothing to indicate notability, or worth, of the blog itself. The third link does not mention the blog at all on the page linked although I did not trawl through the whole site. As for the site traffic, Alexa ranks it at number 6,136,376 and going down fast with a share of just 0.000007%. SpinningSpark 01:29, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
