- FidoNet Star Wars Echo (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)
Appears not to meet WP:WEB. Notable participants != notable forum. Article is sourced to one external fan site; the rest is sourced to the site itself. No indication the site is notable. --EEMIV (talk) 20:31, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, and tag for better sourcing. While well-written, article has been largely unchanged since 2005, when WP had more of a "Hitchhiker's Guide" feel to it. Article was not tagged prior to prod and afd, so there wasn't much of a window to bring this up to 2009 notability standards. Though if we can't get consensus for that, I wouldn't be opposed to a transwiki. Squidfryerchef (talk) 05:30, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. I think Theforce.net may actually meet WP:RS. I found the same ref myself in a Google News archive search. It isn't a "fan site" in the sense the term is generally used on WP. It may focus on Star Wars, but it does have a staff and I don't see how this is different from any other specialist news site. Squidfryerchef (talk) 05:42, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

- Merge to a List of FidoNet echos 76.66.198.171 (talk) 06:19, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- You'd need to provide evidence that any other echos are notable (let alone this one) Shii (tock) 20:45, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I think this was a suggestion made in jest. --EEMIV (talk) 21:03, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Weak kepp Marginally interesting bit of internet history. Looie496 (talk) 21:51, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- "It's interesting" doesn't carry much water without citations to reliable sources and assertion/substantiation of notability. --EEMIV (talk) 22:08, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
