Delete as non-notable website, advertising. Poorly copy-edited article that talks about issues covered in more appropriate articles such as usenet. —Quarl ^(talk) 2006-01-10 01:06Z

Keep and improve. The Website is the only offer on the internet to access binary content from usenet without aquisition of a pay account. In the opposite of text content, the free web based access to binary content is not discussed in the article usenet. So it is not spam, it's an relevant information. I dont know what NickCatal Searches in Google, but there are a lot os search engine spammers like http://alt.binaries.pictures.aviation.xusenet.com for example. unfotunality my english is not good enoth to improve the article.--Q9a 01:49, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Note User Q9a's first contribution was approximately 4 hours after this AfD was created --Nick Catalano (Talk) 02:04, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - Well my Brouwser has lost the Bookmarks after update. I came back to the usenet article, and found no more hints about access of binaries from usenet. --Q9a 12:01, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - And there are several services that offer free access to binary usenet content, as well as (quite slow) free Usenet servers that do so. Monicasdude 03:17, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    - Bevore i found usenet-replayer, i brouwse the thumbnails from xusenet and load the data from open newsservers to avoid the bandwith limit. But that is slow and needs often a reconfiguration. If Monicasdude have better information's, he may add an "Binary Archive" segment within the Usenet artice like the the mention of Googles famous text archive. --Q9a 12:01, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep to access (public) news servers, you need to install and configure software, which is often impossible at work. --80.184.151.30 03:51, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, advertising. Loads of Google hits but only 18 unique, none of which look like a basis to write an independent, verifiable article. --Malthusian (talk) 11:52, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep long established site and unique resource. Well known in certain circles. I am not aware of any other free, unlimited, searchable, thumbnailed web gateway to usenet binaries with similar breadth of coverage, so please cite others when arguing that the service is not unique. To those who point to lack of Google results for the name of the service, try instead Googling a popular binary newsgroup name, such as alt.binaries.fonts[1], and observe that Usenet Replayer heads the results. Or take a look at Alexa (cached) where it used to be the 10th most popular Usenet-related web site. I admit that the article as it stands is poor, but there is no doubt in my mind that this site deserves coverage. Linton 09:41, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
