Not speediable

Let's take another look at CSD A7--this article asserts importance quite clearly, so it is not speedy material. I can assure you I am aware of the criteria for speedy deletion since I go around deleting stuff all day. If you want to take this up at AfD, go ahead.

You're right. My mistake. I've removed the tag. Fan-1967 01:06, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, it DOES need to be removed, as references from this site are NOT credible according to jerkoffs like you two claiming so. That means you either need to remove this "non-credible" site off wikipedia, or quit saying info on their site is non-credible. You CAN'T have your cake and eat it too!!

Notability?

While Irongargoyle is quite right that the article doesn't meet A7, I'm not clear on how it is notable. Both source mentions are "in passing" (though I'll take a scan through the NPR piece to see if it details the site some more.) Even that wouldn't be multiple non-trivial mentions, however, and the first source is a "mention in passing"-unquestionably trivial. Seraphimblade 01:18, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I posted another reference and removed the tag. I agree that the Kansas City Star reference is in passing, but not the NPR reference. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reference is definitely not in passing either. This should now pass WP:WEB. Best, Irongargoyle 01:45, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Post-Gazette is quite in-depth, and it sounds like the full NPR story is as well. Seraphimblade 01:50, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
