'''Bite me.''' Textfiles.com will bury you with the bones of your own children, and will be remembered long after you've turned to dust. I appreciate that chmod was nice enough to create an entry about my site, and about me into the bargain, and I especially appreciate that it was factually correct, but the simple fact is the retards have won over the kitchen. Alexa ratings determining the viability of listing a site? Come on. Apparently Wyllium's "work" and "creation" on Wikipedia is to delete others' work. Good job, Hitler. Here's a bucket of your closest friends' eyes. --[[User:Jscott|Jscott]] 07:54, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC) |

*Sigh. What did I do to deserve that kind of attack? Just to put things in perspective, this user's page solely consists of the phrase "Wikipedia is a failure". Once again, I'm simply trying to establish whether that website is important enough for its own article. If it is, there will be enough keep votes and you'll have nothing to worry about.

* '''Strong keep'''. Although user JScott certainly isn't racking up any points on VfD, he didn't ask to be featured on Wikipedia either (as you will note from my talk page). While I share some of his very own sentiment regarding the silly bureaucratic waste of time here initiated by Wyllium and others for no other reason than to see if it passes the magic "test" -- a definition which, by the way, seems to change from day-to-day -- this does not detract from the fact that TEXTFILES.COM itself is an extremely noteworthy site which has been cited in several books and, yes, even encyclopedias as it is not just an archive, but an ''aggregator'' of archives which has drawn world-wide attention and is a primary source for people everywhere to obtain files from the BBS era, its many subcultures and their extensions. --[[User:Radman1|[[en:RaD Man|'''RaD Man''']] ([[User_talk:Radman1|''talk'']])]] 07:58, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC) |

Revision as of 08:15, 17 November 2004
Article about the website textfiles.com. I'm not listing this article because I think it should be deleted, I'm trying to establish whether this site is notable enough for its own article. The Alexa rank by the way, is 63,872. Wyllium 07:48, 2004 Nov 17 (UTC)
- Google also results in a paltry ~186,000 hits related to "TEXTFILES.COM". *yawn* --[[User:Radman1|RaD Man (talk)]] 08:03, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Bite me. Textfiles.com will bury you with the bones of your own children, and will be remembered long after you've turned to dust. I appreciate that chmod was nice enough to create an entry about my site, and about me into the bargain, and I especially appreciate that it was factually correct, but the simple fact is the retards have won over the kitchen. Alexa ratings determining the viability of listing a site? Come on. Apparently Wyllium's "work" and "creation" on Wikipedia is to delete others' work. Good job, Hitler. Here's a bucket of your closest friends' eyes. --Jscott 07:54, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)

- Strong keep. Although user JScott certainly isn't racking up any points on VfD, he didn't ask to be featured on Wikipedia either (as you will note from my talk page). While I share some of his very own sentiment regarding the silly bureaucratic waste of time here initiated by Wyllium and others for no other reason than to see if it passes the magic "test" -- a definition which, by the way, seems to change from day-to-day -- this does not detract from the fact that TEXTFILES.COM itself is an extremely noteworthy site which has been cited in several books and, yes, even encyclopedias as it is not just an archive, but an aggregator of archives which has drawn world-wide attention and is a primary source for people everywhere to obtain files from the BBS era, its many subcultures and their extensions. --[[User:Radman1|RaD Man (talk)]] 07:58, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- I created the article, but still maintain that I can look at this with some objectivity. Keep. Textfiles.com is one of the few sites of its kind and holds very large amounts of information related to several subcultures. It has been subject to articles in mainstream media such as Wired Magazine and several Slashdot articles. Googling for "textfiles.+com" -site:textfiles.com gives 19 600 hits. Note that it is in no way "vanity". In fact, the site's proprietor outright opposed my creating the article on User_talk:Radman1 yesterday and said that he'd do whatever he could to get it unlisted. — David Remahl 08:02, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. Notable enough. For future reference, that's a pretty high alexa rank
