A vanity page for a seemingly popular animation site that cites no reliable sources of its notability. Jonny2x4 (talk) 04:12, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

the statement of how it was formed indicates some notabillity--not a speedy. let afd decide. What this needs, is looking for sources. DGG (talk) 04:42, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete due to a lack of substantial sources. I've had a look and can find nothing. Reyk YO! 05:09, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weakest of keeps I cleaned up the article a bit, and there are some references. It's not much, but in the end I asked myself is the encyclopedia better or worse for including this website? And I concluded that it's better to include it than not. Seems like a good faith effort by people with a passion for old comics to cover them and make them available online. And I see no harm in including that effort on Wikipedia. ChildofMidnight (talk) 05:16, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep on the basis of the USA Today and Yahoo! Picks references. -- Eastmain (talk) 15:44, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I love those old cartoons, and it was a sad day when Cartoon Network stopped airing them, as it was about the only place left to see them, but I haven't seen and can't find any non-trivial mention of it in the sources, all we've got are short "blurbs" so I'm sticking with my vote to delete.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

  • Delete there's no demonstration of notability here, no Alexa rank. I find the Yahoo Picks and USA Today references, if anything, to be a red flag: these sites list multiple websites every day: tens of thousands of websites would meet such notability criteria. A mention on these three sites is the only attempt to assert notability in the article. — BillC talk 01:24, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Lack of third-party references. A Lexis Nexis search couldn't find anything from major publications The muffin is not subtle (talk) 02:07, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The sources presented are almost random generator links. Add unquestionable and reliable references. Zero Kitsune (talk) 02:33, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The "references" mentioned do are not in depth discussions of the website. Nothing can be spotted out of the blue from a google search, and the four google news hits are not about the website. Themfromspace (talk) 03:40, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment if kept, rename Golden Age Cartoons (website) as it is all too likely to be confused with an item on the Golden Age of cartoons. 76.66.198.46 (talk) 04:39, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
