Namebase.org no longer exists. Shouldn't this therefore be deleted? FinerElements (talk) 08:16, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Notability is not temporary, meaning that Wikipedia can still have an article about subjects that have long since folded, wound up, or otherwise stopped existing. On the subject's merits, the page was kept in this deletion discussion about eight years back. In addition to those findings, there are plenty of paragraph-or-two-sized mentions of NameBase in books and journals, like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. They're not all stellar sources but together they do suggest notability, alongside existing sources and those found in the previous AfD. There might also be coverage in this Wired article, although it's weirdly cut off so I can't be sure. /wiae /tlk 15:07, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as the article currently seems convincing them enough. SwisterTwister talk 17:57, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
