If you google 'metavid' it gets nearly 400k hits some notes on specific criteria: The content itself has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself. Some examples a MIT Technology Review article about the project [1] other in print example articles pixels in public interest, and arts coverage etc. The website or content has won a well-known and independent award from either a publication or organisation. The Sunlight_Foundation awarded the project a transparency grant for 164K [2] Was recognised at TechSoup#NetSquared NY3K event where it was selected as an innovative community application [3] etc. Let me know if you want me to list out more stuff. --mdale (talk) 04:14, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I added a few references to the article. Metavid appears to be a fairly important archive that is leading the wave of wanted transparency in government. Because of this, a number of news sources have discussed the website and its importance in the task of transparency, making it fairly notable and meeting the GNG.
