Zujanje

Small not notable Serbian website. AFD tag put by anon, Im completing nomination, first 3 'votes' are from Talk:Zujanje Shinhan 18:12, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom, extended reasoning. Serbian uses both Cyrillic and Latin alphabets, and Zujanje.com is published in Latin alphabet. But here, I did a search for Cyrillic Zujanje - [1]. 221 hits, and all of them referring to people complaining to buzzing in their ears or asking for computer advice with buzzing in their computers. Serbian users generally use latin alphabet on internet, especially in forums and similar communities. Now, if this were an article on some obscure Serbian word, or something similar, the argument might would hold water. BUT, this is an internet website so Google and alexa are applicable in this case irrelevant of the language used. There are many much more notable and well known web forums in Serbia than Zujanje. Here are a few examples: EliteSecurity (very big computer oriented forum, deleted as uncontested prod, alexa rating 8292), Serbian Cafe (alexa rating 6348), Benchmark.co.yu (hardware site and forums, alexa rating 22329), Burek.co.yu (general community, alexa rating 16493). Also, look at top sites per country, Serbia. I'm not sure which is really biggest of these several forums (ok, benchmark is not for sure), but I'm sure Zujanje is not among the top 100, and it has no other claims to notability.Lets look at WP:WEB. 1) Nope, Zujanje is subject of no independent sources (InfoStud and ETF are not independent). 2) Nope, no award whatsoever. 3) Nope, its distributed by InfoStud which is also not notable. Also, let me quote WP:WEB 'The article itself must provide proof that its subject meets one of these criteria via in-lined links or a "Reference" or "External link" section.'. This article doesn't have any assertion of notability, much less actual proofs. Also, you might want to read User:Uncle G/On notability for why is Notability important. So, if you want to counter Systemic Bias feel free to create articles on those websites I quoted and leave Zujanje for when its at least marginally notable. Myself, I didn't even think of starting Emulation Galaxy article before I had prepared at least 2 references independent of the subject. Shinhan 05:38, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

• keep I'm not convinced by the unnotability arguments put forward. It's a Serbian website, and Serbian uses the cyrillic alphabet, so there won't be many google hits using our alphabet. Better to check with the Serbian project people on the site first.--Sepa 20:53, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

delete - Shinhan's arguments are sound and he's a much better judge in this area than me.--Sepa 19:34, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Agreed as per above, plus, the only contributions made by User:Paiminia, who created this article, was creating this article in other languages. Obvious ad. 24.126.199.129 15:28, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:WEB for failing to even assert notability. Sandstein 20:42, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as usual --Storkk 10:00, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
