(As of this version) Unencyclopedic. The whole page is full of nonsense, and libelous comments. Also, an article about the posters of an online forum is not encyclopedic. --Ragib 04:52, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete. The site appears to be notable under the old WP:WEB guidelines (Alexa ranking of 5,880, forum with 72,915 members), but it does not seem to fit the new ones. At least, I couldn't find references in the web from notable and reliable sources, but if someone can provide them I would change my vote. If the article stays, though, I suggest reverting to a better version and semi protecting the article per the WP:AN suggestion. [1] I suggest adding a newbie deletion warning, as we are likely to get quite a good number of anonymous votes. -- ReyBrujo 05:09, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete per ReyBrujo. --SomeStranger^(t|c) 11:19, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete and protect from recreation. After removing all the crap about who the most thuggiest posters on their forums are (or whatever it was), the article is nothing more than 'SOHH.com is a website about hiphop'. Proto||type 12:21, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Revert and protect to a version similar to the one I put together here. In retrospect, Sonning has got to go. The site seems notable enough on its own. That the userbase seems unwilling to comprehend Wikipolicies implies an inability to develop this page. When I initially cleaned this page up, I was hoping it would just...be. I digress.

Delete Seems to be a magnet for abuse, as well as unencyclopedic topics.--Auger Martel 16:44, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The site seems notable in and of itself. We really ought not to delete articles just because they're favourite targets for vandals. As it stands, it's reasonably well written and encyclopaedic, if lacking in content. WilyD 18:26, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It's fine now. I hope everyone will go back and reconsider their vote. --Liface 20:15, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete its ranked high, but there is no real content here other than some claims that it doesn't back up. Unless there are some sources and useful content added it shoudln't be kept at this time. --Crossmr 00:32, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete doesn't really meet WP:WEB, i think. M1ss1ontom a rs2k4 ^{(T | C | @)} 01:23, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. New version needs expansion. --JJay 23:04, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Doesn't meet WEB guidelines. ' ^{(Feeling chatty? ) (Edits!)} 23:42, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Question: What guideline are you specifically referring to? I was stunned to find how vague WP:WEB is. I've seen "Alexa ranking" and "Google test" used for notability guidelines that I thought they were defined and part of the guidelines...they weren't, it appears. Hbdragon88 01:27, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - An old version (if I recall correctly) of WP:WEB requested Alexa ranking better than 10,000, or a forum with over 5,000 members. The new one requires the site to be notable not according to the amount of traffic it gets, but instead the repercusion of the website in the media, giving opportunity to small sites that has been featured at different dates and for different reasons in CNN, eWeek, New York Times, and other notable publications. From what I saw, this site has a great following, but has have little repercusion in the media (at least, I couldn't find it featured anywhere). -- ReyBrujo 01:36, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The current version is decent; although it's a stub, it no longer has the concerns that the original poster had. A need for cleanup doesn't call for AFD; it calls for cleanup. Hbdragon88 01:27, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
