• Delete Article does not established significance. A quick check shows it to be just like any number of boilerplate web directories which provide no new features or uniqueness in their technical implementation. StuffOfInterest 18:11, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

• Keep - I think this article has potential and should be improved by a willing editor; basically, this article is above the usual nonsence you mostly see on AfD and should be kept as its up to standard. --Anthonycfc^{(talk•c •ama)}

• Keep. Historically, it was notable. The article claims that "in 1997 Starting Point Directory was the seventh most popular Internet site". While unreferenced, this claim is probably correct. On the basis that "once notable, always notable", I would keep this article. The current incarnation of Starting Point Directory doesn't impress me much, though. --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 22:58, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Comment - I can't find any evidence for this history via Google. --ZimZalaBim (talk) 07:19, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

• Keep per TruthbringerToronto. It may not be much to look at now, but it's definitely of historical interest. (By the way, I just realized that we have no article on the Magellan search engine. I hadn't thought of that site in years.) - EurekaLott 03:47, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per TruthbringerToronto. I am the original author of this wiki. This is my first wiki so please forgive me for my early mistakes. The directory has historical significance. Many early internet users remember Starting Point. - VariableX 09:00, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
