Non-notable online community? Jonny-mt 17:24, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

• Comment Possible counterarguments exist, hence the (admittedly strange step) of nominating your own article that has been marked for deletion...and then commenting on it. I originally went fact-finding in an effort to build a defense for the article, but after reading the appropriate guidelines as to what is and isn't note-worthy, I found myself a bit lost. So if you'd indulge me, I'd like to post what would have originally been the defense here.

Of course, this all may be moot with the site owner posting about the possible closure in the last 24 hours, but I'd rather hear the thoughts of those better-versed than I in the workings of Wiki. Jonny-mt 17:33, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

• delete; mediocre alexa rank of 72,000, site now closed. — brighterorange (talk) 18:16, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Neither the site or the software is notable, although the software is pretty nice. No reliable third-party sources. Kotepho 15:31, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
