Not notable. Wikieditor600 (talk) 01:38, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. I have no way of knowing if this is referenced since all of the sources have no links, but a quick google search returned just mentions, which don't pass GNG. CrazyBoy826 01:48, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
- Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2020 June 3. —cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 01:58, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
- Keep. The listed sources are valid even if they're not online. It's the responsibility of the people voting for deletion to find ways to verify them - see WP:PAPERONLY: "the burden of proof is on the one seeking deletion". I just looked for additional sources, and Diary-x is discussed in several scholarly articles about the importance of online diaries, especially for young women. This includes:
- "Screening Moments, Scrolling Lives: Diary Writing on the Web" (2003) in Biography (journal)
- "‘Hit Sluts’ and ‘Page Pimps’: online diarists and their quest for cyber-union" (2007) in a journal called Life Writing
- "Saving Digital History" (2007) in Library Journal
- "Women's Diaries in an Online Era" (2003), a thesis by a student at Southern Illinois University Carbondale
- There's sufficient sourcing for Diary-X having been important at its time, even if the sources are harder to find now than they were in 2003. It's worth doing that work to avoid WP:RECENTISM and systemic bias. Dreamyshade (talk) 14:46, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
