Delete No sign of seperate notability. The Snoopes article is one of the most POV-pushing articles I have read in a long time. The only mention of critics is in a sentence that says that they make "false" accusations against it. That is a classic example of a strawman argument, they pick an unsupported argument that can be proved false, so that the article can ignore any nuanced and thoughtout criticism of the site. That is a good method for promoting a postion, it is not a good method for gaining understanding of anything.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:38, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- not independently notable; sources are passing mentions or related to Snopes.com. Insufficient for a BLP. K.e.coffman (talk) 03:42, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There are a few personal bits such as schooling, but they'll fit in the company article, too. Anmccaff (talk) 04:41, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, not notable enough for stand alone article per GNG. Kierzek (talk) 13:15, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
