So you want to undelete Soccerpulse

 * i have a doubt .If this so-called review works, will I be asked to create a page for soccerpulse?I dont mind giving a review but I dont know how to create a page .The only reason why I brought this up is because I have posted in both forums and I am of the sincere opinion that soccerpulse is a much better forum than bigsoccer(because of which I post only in soccerpulse).The only aspect in which bigsoccer may beat soccerpulse is the fact that it probably has more MLS discussion , BUT discussing the Metro Bulls dont exactly constitute the essence of soccer(or football as i call it).


 * Soccerpulse has a more knowledgable crowd and its a more ideal place to discuss international football .Personally speaking, I dont know what exactly is the criterion for a discussion forum to have a page on wikipedia but if bigsoccer has a page , then its my duty as a football fan to ask for a page for a clearly superior forum because it will do more justice to football.Rosiethegreat 03:45, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

As I mentioned before, it doesn't matter if SoccerPulse is the greatest website on earth and BigSoccer is populated by drooling idiots. Well, it is populated by drooling idiots who can barely dress themselves, but that's beside the point - it's all about notability. You can see the criteria for an article about a website at WP:WEB. Basically, for something to have a Wikipedia article, it has to something that books or newspapers and magazines talk about, and that it has some sort of importance beyond its owners and users.

In the deletion review, you don't have to write the article, but you will have to bring up examples of newspaper articles and magazines that talk about, not just mention, SoccerPulse. The key thing is to show, not so much that SoccerPulse is better, but that it's notable. I think you're going to have trouble proving that. You could contact users who recommended "keep" in Articles for deletion/Soccerpulse, if you still want to go ahead. Mosmof 04:35, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
