Scholarpedia[edit]

With all the decent, informative articles such as GetWiki and Wikinfo that I've seen being put up for deletion as of late, I'd like to see what editors think about this one. It's notability is questionable and the article lacks any actual content, unlike say Citizendium. I suggest deletion. Metaspheres 04:36, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The 19,000 hits looks good until you see the 1,220,000 citizendium gets - and citizendium it hasn't even launched yet. The alexa rank is abysmal and it shows barely any hits per day. Ultra-Loser ^{Talk | BT sites} 05:45, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. With 391 articles as of right now - the majority of which are effectively empty - this looks like a project that hasn't quite gotten off the ground yet. Many of these articles simply read "this article to be written by Prof. XYZ". A check of their deadendpages tells me that all but 53 of the project's articles are dead-ends (i.e, lacking links), and are likely to have not been created properly yet.

Keep: I'm going to throw a spanner in the works here. This is a borderline case, but my philosophy is, when in doubt, keep. David Cannon 10:04, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I don't see anything borderline about it. If and when it takes off, then it should get an article, obviously, but now it's not even close. --Calton | Talk 00:29, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
