Tagged for twenty-two months, Taringa! and Poringa! both lack reliable secondary sources. Popular in Argentina for providing a mixture of illegal and explicit content, there is one mention in La Nación ("...the controversial site...")[1] but little or nothing in the English speaking world. As such, the article amounts to trivial coverage of modalities with a plethora of blogs for External links. -- Wikispan (talk) 17:40, 14 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment "but little or nothing in the English speaking world" is irrelevant here - sources don't have to be in English. The fact you only found one source in Spanish is relevant. David V Houston (talk) 01:34, 16 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

- Keep. OK, let's look at this more closely. I find a link that says " Taringa!, uno de los sitios más visitados de la Argentina, lanzó su proyecto de comunidades, una herramienta que, según estiman sus directores, servirá para ... " One of the most visited sites in Argentina sounds notable. My Spanish sucks/is next to non-existent, but [2] looks to be about the site, [3] is about the founders? who are being discussed because of the site; [4] is, I suspect an RS newpaper article about the site; [5] about the phenomenon the site inspires. And this is just on the first page of news hits (I searched with the added term -Brisbane). If they have coined a word 'taringuero' for aficionados of the site, that also sounds like notability.

- La Nación is the only decent source I could find, though my search was not exhaustive. It would help if someone with knowledge could find others. Wikispan (talk) 17:05, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
