The result was keep. The article does establish notability as reliable sources have been found. (non-administrative closure) -- RyRy (talk) 02:13, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Stupidedia[edit]

Non-notable web site, does not pass WP:WEB requirements. Ecoleetage (talk) 00:10, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep. Sure it does, it just isn't properly sourced at the moment. Stupidedia lists articles about itself on serveral reliable sources, all in German. Google gives 115,000 hits. --Amalthea (talk) 00:14, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please see Talk:Stupidedia where the author says just that in response to the CSD, and lists wikilinks to some of the reliable sources, among them the german newspapers with the highest circulations. --Amalthea (talk) 00:18, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It already has a listing on the German side of Wikipedia, which does provide references as to its notability. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stupidedia Is there a reason for a German-languange site to be listed seperately on the English-language side of wikipedia?Khanaris (talk) 00:53, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Featured in a Bild article titled Knowledge the world doesn't need ([1]). --Blanchardb-^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}-timed 01:19, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Actually, a lot of the coverage provided by the article's author is extremely brief. These are minor mentions, not significant coverage. Ecoleetage (talk) 01:45, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have to agree that a lot of them are very brief or mention the site only as a "reference" themselves, but I'm convinced that there's enough to make it notable by far: There are at least two with significant coverages, [2] (Bild) and [3] (Rheinische_Post), and a number of "web tips": [4] on de:GIGA Digital Television, a German genre TV channel, [5] [6] on Bild, [7] on Oberösterreichische Rundschau, [8] on de:PC Games, a german PC games magazine, and [9] on CHIP (magazine).

Keep it. In Germany, Stupipedia is well-known. --Olahus (talk) 18:39, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
(At least weak) Keep I also found a mention in Die Welt [10], but with all the other minor mentions, I don't know if this establishes sufficient notability. – sgeureka ^t•c 22:27, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep - Seems to be notable enough. Ostap 00:21, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep - Even if the article has little or no context, it may be expanded, cleaned up, and be nominated into an A or B-class article by a great editor who's bold. --Ωfrogger3140Ω (talk) 17:54, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
