Speedy delete? Not so fast...

Although I did not write this article (or, rather, point it to another article), and really I have nothing at all to do with RationalWiki, I have heard enough about it on the web to think perhaps this article doesn't quite meet CSD. The subject of the article, I think, carries with it enough notability for a suitable article to be written, although I would agree that such an article has not yet been written. At the very least, let's not CSD this thing and set a precedent for an article never to be written on the subject. Perhaps by subjecting this to AfD instead, we may find reason to keep the article. -- JeffBillman (talk) 23:01, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

This speedy request is for speedy deletion of this redirect to the Conservapedia article. I'm sure Rationalwiki gets mentioned on the web in a few blogs and forums, but there is nothing to indicate notability through significant coverage in reliable sources, which Internet forums and blogs are definitely not. Articles have been created on Rationalwiki before and each time they have been deleted as vanity or promo articles on a non-notable subject. This redirect I am requesting speedy deletion of appears to be an attempt to get around the patent non-notability of the subject matter by redirecting to the Conservapedia article, which includes an unwarranted mention of and link to Rationalwiki. Rationalwiki is an attack/stalking site and furthermore is simply not notable. There is no need to allow them to use Wikipedia to promote themselves. 96.239.153.176 (talk) 23:09, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
