AbleNET
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log )

nn chat network with 300 users. Numerous refs, but this is a ref bomb, not a real notable subject.

This article attempts to hitch a ride on events around irc-unity and the Fizzer worm. The problem is zero of the secondary sources are about AbleNET. One or two of the blog posts make a passing mention but those are not WP:RS for documentation or notability. Once you strip the article of things that do not mention AbleNET (the subject of the article), you are left with a handful of sentences that are referenced by primary sources and non-useful blogs and forum posts.

This survived AfD several years ago, before WP:N and WP:RS were really enforced and WP:ILIKEIT was seeming valid. This article doesn't meet our standards, now, if it ever did. SchmuckyTheCat (talk) 14:35, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
