Favstar

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable website. No claim of notability. Little independent coverage. Of the coverage, there's a great review [1], a routine techcunch article on launch [2] and three poor articles [3], [4] and [5]. There's no way that this meets WP:NWEB. PROD removed by IP.

Keep - Per notability for WEB, "subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself."

The article doesn't need to claim notability, although it is generally helpful. There are lots of non-trivial works, and they are independent of Favstar. the_undertow ^talk 05:13, 25 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Obvious keep There are more than enough sources to pass WP:WEB and the general notability guideline. Steven Walling • talk 00:26, 29 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
