Deletion rationale
It was suggested on the talk page that this article be kept and maintained and it should "focus on sites that are notable and/or famous in the fan-community rather than it being just a directory of "cool" links". However, what is notable to one is not notable to others. I've never heard of most of the pages on this list to be honest. And if we add one site, what stops someone from adding their non-notable site? We are not a website directory. We should not be one.

Second to that, the page has had minimal changes over the last 6+ months. If this is supposed to be a directory, it requires someone maintaining it and checking the links on a regular basis. On that point... we are not a website directory. We removed all articles about websites, and in that discussion, it was suggested that "In which case we'd still need to define which of all webpages that call themselves "Internet News Sites" we consider important/reliable/necessary enough to warrant inclusion in that article - or else we'd quickly end up with a pretty useless list of third-class pages that mostly just copy "news" from each other." The same continues to hold true now.

Finally, at the moment, this is only linked from talk pages and Okudagram. If this is intended to be a proper website directory... why is the only non-talk link from such a random article? -- Sulfur 11:22, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Meh. Delete. --From Andoria with Love 11:44, 18 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes, delete. Other websites can be of use to us in two ways. First, a page can contain information we want to use in one of our articles (background sections, RWPOV-articles). In those cases, we should link to those resource pages from the individual articles directly. Second, a whole site could be of interest for the community (a "notable" page, as described above). If we want to have those, with all the problems already described, we might want to have separate articles about them, not a list article with an ambiguous name as this. -- Cid Highwind 11:52, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Delete. We are not a web directory. --  Harry  talk 12:43, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
