Contested deletion
This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because, for nearly a decade and a half it was one of the leading "truth-checking" sites in the Internet, like Snopes.com, UrbanLegends.MiningCo.com (now defunct), HoaxInfo.com (now defunct), BreakTheChain.org (lasted 13 years, but now defunct, though the web site still exists), and hoaxbusters.ciac.org (now defunct).

Of all those hoax-checking sites, only two remain: TruthOrFiction.com and Snopes.com. Both sites have enormous databases of chain-emails, hoaxes, eRumors, etc, debunked or verified, and both are widely referenced and highly notable. They are very often referenced together; indeed, google-searching for both domain names together gets over 1,000,000 hits. But only one had a Wikipedia page, until today.
