WP:CVU status
The Counter-Vandalism Unit project is under consideration to be moved to and/or  status. Another proposal is to delete or redirect the project. You have been identified as a project member and your input as to this matter would be welcomed at WT:CVU and at the deletion debate. Thank you!

Poingly
Hey Apalapala, I saw your creation and edit summary about Poingly, which I've just marked for deletion, but I figured you deserved a clean answer to your question. "Who decides significance?" is the community, and the relevant community discussion is at Articles_for_deletion/Poingly. The key test for Wikipedia notability is the general notability guideline at WP:GNG, and what I'd suggest, if you'd like to see this restored (presuming it is deleted), is to show a couple of in-depth, reliable secondary sources covering the band. I'll be happy to reinstate the article if those sources are clear-cut, if there's any question, we'll have the question reviewed at deletion review ((WP:DRV).  Get a couple of those sources providing in-depth coverage, and we'll finally be able to put all the back-and-forth delete-restores to rest.  Thanks!  --j⚛e deckertalk 17:07, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

Hey Joe: I'll look for online mentions, later. It was a high school project in the '90s, that's a band, active for more than 15 years, that still performs in New York and has a radio show etc. There was also some local print media coverage in the late 90s that wouldn't still be online. I'm not sure what decides relevance to the wikipedia community. It is, however, a thing. A bunch of articles link to the lack of a page, if you search "Poingly" on wikipedia. Anyway, I'll see if I can search for online articles later. I guess.. do i post 'em here? Apalapala (talk) 22:55, 26 January 2013 (UTC) My fav article from the now-defunct Suck magazine. I guess, all I see are passing mentions in magazines and journals, not full coverage as the guidelines suggest. I'll keep looking. Apalapala (talk) 23:03, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
