Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/FantasyLiterature.net

I authored the topic FantasyLiterature.net and I'm the owner of the website. Until about a month ago, we were on the top page (and usually the top spot after Wikipedia) for all related searches. We received most of our hits from Google. Unfortunately, I submitted a sitemap to Google that somehow knocked us completely off for about 3 weeks. We are finally back in the index, but have not yet reestablished our top page position. Since your main complaint seems to be that we are "unnotable" due to lack of Google hits, I wanted to explain that. I'm not sure if there is a way to prove what our position on Google was a month ago. I now have Google analytics tracking the page, but I set that up after the sitemap problem. I have a Sitemeter account, but it is the free version and does not track beyond the last 100 visitors, I believe. If you know of a way to determine our Google hits before we had this problem, I encourage you to research that, or tell me how to so that I can direct you to the source. Thank you for your consideration. Kahooper (talk) 16:56, 9 February 2008 (UTC)kahooper 2/9/08

The reason I nominated the article for deletion has nothing to do with Google hits. I nominated it because your site's lack of coverage in reliable sources means that it fails the Wikipedia requirements for notability—specifically, those explained at WP:WEB. You are, of course, entitled to explain why you think your site is suitable for a WP article; the place to do so is the AfD discussion itself, which can be accessed by clicking on the tab "project page" at the top of this page. Just add your opinion at the bottom of that page. Deor (talk) 17:14, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
