The result was delete. Seems like we don't have evidence of notability here; the other article was kept not because of Alexa rankings but because the delete arguments were much weaker. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 17:02, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Listed on Alexa as one of the top website. --AJITHKUMAR (talk) 14:38, 16 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Merely being listed on Alexa is not a notability criteria... CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 22:31, 16 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It is one of the top Tamil websites on Alexa rankings. Alexa is an independent source that has no vested interest in the given Wikipedia topic. So, Alexa can be used for web notability.--AJITHKUMAR (talk) 04:15, 18 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I had created articles based on Alexa rankings. I created the article for India Study Channel in 2013, it was India's largest educational website during that time but recently it has moved to the seventh place. The article still exists.

Delete Crunchbase is well established as not counting towards notability by now (based on consensus in virtually every AfD of the past year). Alexa rankings are primary sourcing, and thus do not count towards the general guideline found in WP:N. TonyBallioni (talk) 16:29, 18 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete neither Crunchbase nor Alexa are worth anything when it comes to meeting the GNG. There are no other references in the article, and I found none. The site itself looks like churnalism or even just a parked-domain with ads. power~enwiki (π, ν) 06:53, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
