 * Keep their user generated maps have been a part of popular culture for several election cycles. 163.170.130.6 (talk) 10:06, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Then can you please link us to the popular culture where this website is used, IP editor (I am the same person who proposed deletion)? 45.251.33.0 (talk) 12:49, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep As used by schools to teach about the electoral college process (text and ref added about this). David notMD (talk) 18:13, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
 * But there is only one teacher's review about the website discussing it being used as such, which is definitely not representative of all of USA (same IP editor again). Besides, is Common Sense Media an independent significant source? 45.251.33.233 (talk) 03:56, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:NWEB "Wikipedia bases its decision about whether web content is notable enough to justify a separate article on the verifiable evidence that the web content has attracted the notice of reliable sources unrelated to the web content, its authors, or its owners." There are hundreds of sources that Wikipedia considers reliable that cite this website as an authority (eg:, , , , ,, , ) -- TimothyBlue (talk) 14:14, 30 July 2020
 * Keep, for the reasons provides in a well-considered comment, despite his oversight to add his signature. -- llywrch (talk) 17:49, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Usually the better my comment is, the less likely I am to remember to actually sign it. :)


 * Keep per WP:SNOW, WP:NWEB, WP:BEFORE, and WP:SIGCOV. The only supporters of deletion are the nom, which is an IP's WP:IDONTLIKEIT because its arguments have been contradicted by, and a bare !vote. FWIW, there are over 2,000 articles on Google news and it has been cited over 200 times in scholarly works. Bearian (talk) 21:08, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
 * For your information,, I am not supporting deletion as per WP:IDONTLIKEIT but as per the fact that a Google search (on Google Search's Indian page right before I nominated this) yielded only one or two passing mentions by some not-so-well-known-newspapers. The last time I saw this discussion was when I asked whether Common Sense Media was an appropriate source for proving notability. But now looking at all the sources mentioned by , I agree that the subject is notable enough. 45.251.33.118 (talk) 05:02, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
