Jayski's Silly Season Site[edit]

and it's REDIRECT Jayski added by xaosflux ^Talk/_CVU 17:02, 4 March 2006 (UTC) (addition does not imply endorsement of deletion)[reply]

~~Fails to establish notability of this website, which as far as I can determine does not meet the WP:WEB guidelines _└^UkPaolo/_talk^┐ 16:49, 4 March 2006 (UTC)~~ nomination withdrawn (see below) _└^UkPaolo/_talk^┐ 09:48, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I created the article, and I would like to note that I believe that it meets WP:WEB criteria #3, as it is hosted by ESPN.com. In addition, it is often mentioned and/or referenced on NASCAR television shows by the drivers and teams who visit it. -- SonicAD (talk) 17:00, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Appears to be a notable Nascar news site, passes WP:WEB per SonicAD. [1] -- Vary | Talk 17:18, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Remove Keeping this article will open the door to more spamming articles by NASCAR news related websites being added to the encyclpedia. I am not an authority at Wikipedia, but surely it is not the intention of the founder to have spam advertising running rampant throughout this site. There are a lot of notable NASCAR news sites that have reporters actually at the events covering the sport. Jayski's is not one of them. Thunderroad 22:04, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The site is a notable resource of all types of Nascar information. The site is notable in that it provides news on almost everything happening in the Nascar world, not to mention resources such as pictures of nearly every paint scheme being run, media news, team news, and more. Many Nascar fans rely on this site for their Nascar information, and it's not like a site like this is commonplace, and no other site seems to have the vast resources that Jayski's site does, nor are any such sites as popular by a long shot. It deserves its own article. --Spring Rubber 23:42, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:WEB. Kappa 10:29, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

SonicAD posted this on my talk page:

Having created the article on Jayski's, and being unsure whether you've checked the deletion discussion since then, I'd like to ask you to reconsider your nomination. I do believe that, contrary to your nomination, it meets two criteria of WP:WEB: Part 1 (see [2] and [3]), and Part 3 (being hosted by ESPN.com, noted on Jayski's home page [4] and linked to in the racing section of ESPN.com. [5] Thanks! -- SonicAD (talk) 03:18, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In light of this information, I am happy to reconsider my opinion. It seems I was wrong and that the website does indeed meet WP:WEB, per these arguments, and I thus withdraw my deletion nomination and vote to Keep the article. _└^UkPaolo/_talk^┐ 09:48, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
