The web is notable, but the pronunciation of WWW is not. The whole page seems to be predicated on a quote from Douglas Adams, which might bare a sentence on other pages, but is not a subject covered in multiple reliable secondary sources in its own right. The page is poorly sourced, and has WP:OR on it. This is not an encyclopaedic treatment. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 14:07, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Not notable. — Sean Brunnock (talk) 14:17, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Not notable. Just because some author said a funny quote doesn't mean it needs an article. See WP:OR and WP:NOTDICT. StreetcarEnjoyer (talk) 18:17, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: it does not need a page, any useful content should be moved to World Wide Web#Nomenclature. Bendegúz Ács (talk) 20:07, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Looks like the Douglas Adams quote (and some other stuff) is already there. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 20:16, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete it can easily be merged ''Flux55'' (talk) 23:49, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: if it were merged somewhere, the page would be kept to maintain attribution. That is, of course, not a reason to keep the article absent such a merge. Cnilep (talk) 03:22, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Might be something about the quote, but then proceeds to list every language outside of EN, so doesn't seem notable. More of a list of pronunciations than any sort of encyclopedic article. Oaktree b (talk) 01:57, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – This is a funny and cool article but it's Wiktionary-type stuff, it would probably be near-impossible to find a reason to deem this notable. Any scraps can be left at World_Wide_Web#Nomenclature.
