  • Delete bec. it's spam. YechielMan 01:52, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, tons of artists have contributed, there's hundreds of albums on there and it's even been mentioned in SPIN (http://radar.spacebar.org/img.shtml?l=1&n=23&backlink=.%3Fmonth%3D5%26year%3D2002) and Reuters (http://www.usatoday.com/tech/webguide/internetlife/2003-12-03-crapart_x.htm).

    • Comment I'd like to point out that these articles are over 3 years old and have no validity to help keep the article. Giant onehead 06:15, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • The age of the articles cited is irrelevant, and the USA Today article most certainly does count towards satisfying the primary WP:WEB criterion. An article in Spin would also count, but the aforementioned hyperlink is not it. It is a picture, published by the creator of the article's subject, of a purported Spin article. It doesn't even have a date so that people can go to the actual magazine and find the actual article. For all that the world knows it could be a mock-up made using Photoshop.

  • Neutral Particularly low Alexa ranking, but I wonder how a reference's age can make it invalid. We use Encylopaedia britannica 1911, and that is far older. Care to explain your reasoning? Michael Billington (talk • contribs) 08:53, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep. This may be a case of my heart ruling my head, but it seems to be a worthwhile project, and this one that should appear even though it teeters on the brink of lack of notability. Alexa rankings are, to me as a webmaster and a FireFox user, irrelevant, fixable and so biased as to be wholly discounted until you are in the hundreds, so I pay those no heed except a wry grin.

  • Keep. Conceivably NN, but it doesn't seem to fail WP:V, WP:VAIN or WP:NOR, and Wikipedia is WP:NOT paper.–♥ «Charles A. L.» 15:08, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The USAToday reference ensures notability, regardless of age.  Cdcon  22:34, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per the comments above. Yamaguchi先生 19:01, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per above. R Calvete 08:06, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
