Non-notable web forum, the only source which mentions it is not useful for creating an article on the subject. My speedy deletion tag was removed. Corvus cornixtalk 22:39, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a valid argument. Unless there's a big WP:SNOW consensus coming here, you have five days to provide reliable sources as to the website's notability. Corvus cornixtalk 23:16, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I wish I could get some advice on types of things I could do to prove worthiness and/or increase the chance that the post will fit guidelines and stay. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Joe Forkeybolo (talk • contribs) 00:35, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, local web forum. No assertion of notability. KleenupKrew (talk) 00:43, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Why do the sources provided not assert notability? Also, its not local, its regional. Celarnor Talk to me 01:05, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- A politics blog, something called Rake magazine, and one brief mention in the Star-Tribune. The only notable source here is the Star-Tribune, and one brief mention does not establish notability. Is this website the subject of frequent coverage in the Star-Tribune and other legitimate print and broadcast media? Or just one brief mention? Wikipedia is not a web directory.

I'm (obviously) new to this. Short of external media references lauding the contributions of the site, how does one prove notability? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Joe Forkeybolo (talk • contribs) 00:47, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- That should be all you need. Some people just want more than others; those will suggest deletion, while others, who have looser beliefs about what's required for notability, will suggest keeping it. Celarnor Talk to me 01:04, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
How do I know if the post will survive? Is there a time limit for deleting a new topic? --Joe Forkeybolo (talk) 01:48, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Most likely, it'll go on for five days unless an extremely clear consensus to delete or keep develops by then. You can find how all this works here. Celarnor Talk to me 01:56, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
