Delete systemic bias. A fansitepedia is presumptively not notable unless it is an exception featuring external interest. MLA (talk) 22:05, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep I would prefer we didn't have a bunch of articles about sites like this, on one hand. On the other hand, it did get feature stories in two very reliable sources. So it probably meets the verifiability and notability criteria whether we like having articles about fansites or not. Steven Walling 06:22, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep There are two reputable sources that obviously felt the site was notable enough to write cover stories on. In additon, there are plenty of fansites that have their own articles, such as Lostpedia, TheForce.Net, and Doctor Who Online. Because of these reasons, I feel the article is notable enough to avoid deletion (it just needs further expansion). Thanks, Ruby2010 talk 05:10, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
