İnci Sözlük

 * – ( View AfD View log ) •

I'm not sure if the topic of the artitle is really the website or the dictionary (it was originally the English name, then got moved to Turkish and seems to be talking more about the site than the medical reference). But either way, appears to fail notability standards (including having long-unaddressed cleanup tags). The only thing I see is that it was the blog on which someone posted a comment first noting a possibly-notable situation involving some other notable website. Seems like the site itself is a few steps removed from actual notability in its own right. The cited ref only mentions the site itself in passing, so it's not the sort of specific in-depth reporting that WP:WEB wants. I don't know Turkish so I can't comment on the site's content or easily search for native sources about it. Note: I had to semiprotect the article to quash a long-term vandalism problem--other admins feel free to unprotect if you think anons will be able to bring the article into a viable state, and also beware if the problem spreads to this AFD.

 * Keep- It's a forum like Ekşi Sözlük. İnci Sözlük is very popular in Turkey, if there's a page for Ekşi Sözlük, we can also have a page for İnci Sözlük. Dizikaygisiz (talk) 17:10, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Is there a WP:RS that clearly states that it is very popular? DMacks (talk) 21:09, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
