[edit] College Tonight
Strong delete Fails WP:WEB A two month old web project hasn't any notability. This should be on Google but not in Encyclopedia. Tulkolahten 19:44, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
- Delete Granted, the site has a number of media mentions, but these seem due more to the publicity-savviness of the site's creators than to any actual newsworthiness of the site itself. There really is nothing whatsoever to the article so far that wouldn't apply to just about every other moderately-sophisticated web-forum out there. Also, the original wording of the article (plus the username of the creator) suggests that it was planted in WP by one of the site-founders as a means of boosting their search profile. I don't want to reward that. --Arvedui 23:32, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

- Further comment, if there were even a single detail both notable and unique to the site, such as some well-known cultural or internet phenomenon that originated there or an obviously unique net-subculture that inhabits it, I would probably vote to Keep. But as it's basically a two month old dating/party-promotion site, this seems very unlikely. --Arvedui 23:37, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

- Delete Nonnotable website. Edison 16:43, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
- Strong delete. Non-notable website, fails WP:WEB and/or any other notability measurement. The two "reliable independent sources" mentioned in the last AfD were a school newspaper and a syndicated column on msnbc.com. Media mentions do not automatically give a subject notability if the subject itself is obviously non-notable. --- RockMFR 19:54, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
