This article is about a webpage that fails the general notability guideline as well as the specific notability guideline for webpages as it hasn't received significant coverage in reliable sources, nor has it won any significant awards. This was kept at AfD in 2006, yet our interpretation of WP:WEB has changed over the years and this website no longer meets it. ThemFromSpace 08:34, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete Subject does not appear to be notable and article contains numerous style issues. Tyrol5 [Talk] 17:58, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep This is actually a popular site (which I maintain). Even though you may not see it much in your wanderings, it is much used by schools and students. For example compete.com ranks it 3,005 (http://siteanalytics.compete.com/mathsisfun.com/). It is a "bread and butter" site that does not get or need press coverage or sensational headlines, so is unlikely to be noticed, unless you are needing to complete your homework!

- Delete does not appear to pass WP:WEB. Alexa rank 638,408. Also appears to have COI/Spam issues as well. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 01:33, 27 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete It definitely does not pass WP:WEB criteria. It might be a great website that used by lots of students but it's not notable. Furthermore, the article seems to just be an outline of the website and does not say why it is culturally or historically important or what it has achieved.
