Conspiracy forum with little claim to notability. It's a competitor to the Above Top Secret forums, but there are many contenders that lack the mainstream media coverage that gives notability credentials for a Wikipedia article. Godlike Productions seems to be one, unless reliable sources can be presented in the course of this AfD discussion. __meco (talk) 09:39, 25 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete or redirect to List of conspiracy theory websites (redlink), per WP:NWEB. There's a fair amount of original research in the current article. It'd be good if there were a bit more background to this site to sustain an article, because it's been noted as "the place to start to find the best of the conspiratorial web" and was also mentioned at iScienceTimes in connection with conspiracies around the recent death of Neil Armstrong. -- Trevj (talk) 11:51, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Don't delete it, because Godlike Productions is one of the top 3000 websites in the world in traffic, according to Alexa, and is considered to be one of the two top conspiracy theory forums in the world, alongside Above Top Secret (that do have an article on Wikipedia). Godlike Productions is mentioned at the top of several lists of conspiracy forums, in several different websites accross the web. GLP became a cultural element, and is mentioned in the Rational Wiki and the Urban Dictionary. There is no reason for Wikipedia to ignore Godlike Productions, while Above Top Secret has an article. Delete both, or delete none. MoranTard (talk) 12:49, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
