 * Hi, you just deleted my new article Mac Poker Online as I was writing it. Your reasoning was that it did not express it's importance. However, it is the oldest authority informational portal for Mac poker players and is in the top 1% of the highest trafficked websites in it's industry. I do not understand how that lacks importance? Can you please provide me with feedback about how I can have this listed properly? Adioking 23:58, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Notability criteria for websites can be found at WP:WEB. The website has an Alexa rank of 142,733, which means that it isn't a particularly important website. (aeropagitica) 00:02, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Update
I feel that it meets the following criteria:

The content itself has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself.

This website has been reviewed and listed by an editor in the DMOZ project among the most popular poker guides on the page http://dmoz.org/Games/Gambling/Poker/Online_Cardrooms/Guides/ Mac Poker Online would also be listed in the Yahoo! directory, however they no longer accept gambling submissions.

You are correct about the Alexa rank, but your opinion is skewed. Gambling portals receive much less traffic than many other industries simply because of the size of the niche. In addition to that, Alexa rank can easily be manipulated. Do a backlink search and you will notice how many other sites mention this one: http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=linkdomain%3Amacpokeronline.com+-site%3Amacpokeronline.com&ei=UTF-8&fr=moz2&x=wrt
