Article asserts notability but fails to provide a single reference other than a link to the website of the publication. No evidence that the subject meets the general notability guideline. It's been a month since the article was moved into the mainspace from draft, and still no sources. Steven Walling • talk 20:09, 24 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment—The web site only appears to have minor notability,[1] if any. But the co-founder, John Breeden II, may be notable for, among other things, having been a gaming and technology writer for the Washington Post.[2] Indeed, a bio at the Post links him to the WiP web site.[3] Perhaps a bio of the co-founder could use some of the material from this article?
