Big_Damn_Funny[edit]

Delete. The website appears to be a vanity project. It's only been around for a year (unless you count its 6-month existence in 2000) and the only hits for the website appear to be from advertisements and the creator's blog. The humor on the site sucks anyway. Aplomado - UTC 22:00, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. You can get over 100,000 Google hits for this phrase, and they seem to have managed to get on every "topsites" listing on the web, but no sign that anybody is paying attention to them except link farms and self-promotional blogs. Slowmover 22:29, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Alexa rank of 963,116. Non-notable website, WP:WEB refers.  (aeropagitica)  23:54, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Here are some alexa ranks for sites that exist on wikipedia... awesome funny: 2,508,376

audience of two: 5,770,170 What does alexa ranking have to do with anything? 70.60.152.14 19:13, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • The fact that the humor sucks does not disqualify the article, of course, otherwise a lot of WP:BJADON would be dumped(!); failure to meet WP:WEB does, however, warrant a Delete. Colonel Tom 00:28, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Save So the fact that is HAS been published elsewhere factors in none? 70.60.149.226 05:09, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • This article doesn't need to be deleted. It is no more a "pagerank-inflating advertisement" than The Best Page in the Universe or Zug.com or, frankly, the various other humor website articles. As a site that dates back five years, I think this article is just as valid as numerous others. 70.60.152.14
    • The above was posted on the article's talk page; I have copied it here for completeness etc. Colonel Tom 01:19, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as non-notable. Ifnord 15:58, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
