Am I Right

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable website. Advertisement edited by the founder (User:Chuckyg80s) and possibly other COI parties (see User talk:68.97.44.33). A brief mention of the site in a blog entry about reader's response to a list (the entry entitled "50 best Web sites: readers on Arts, Kids, Info") is not significant coverage by a reliable source, nor is a blurb from Askmen.com, from a feature that promises a "new site every day". The entire text of this source is "Description: AmIRight.com offers visitors a collection of misheard lyrics and song parodies. What We Think: This site has tons of music-related information like misheard lyrics, cool band names, etc. The song parodies are hilarious -- if you like Weird Al, you'll appreciate these. Best Feature: The "Music Parody" section." (sidenote: Can WikiNews articles be deleted? Am I Right webmaster interviewed on radio show)

 * Keep - This article is as "non-notable" as Jump the Shark. DanTD (talk) 15:04, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Side note - The article itself was not created by Chuckyg80s, but by User:Iamhungey DanTD (talk) 15:08, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I said "edited", not "created". I assume you are comparing this site to jumptheshark.com. Jumptheshark.com does not have an article. The link you provided is to an X-Files episode. Besides, WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS. ~  JohnnyMrNinja  22:26, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
 * The name of the X-Files episode referred specifically to the website. While it's true that "other crap exists," sites like "Jump the Shark" and "AmIRight" tend to have greater significance. DanTD (talk) 00:01, 27 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Strong keep. Well-written article which cites multiple reliable sources. Spurious nomination. --Gene_poole (talk) 04:57, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as non notable. The supplied 'sources' either do not mention this website or are user submitted content. No reliable sources appear to exist. Nuttah (talk) 10:13, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete The Ask Men reference is a tiny blurb, the other Chicago Tribune page links to current reviews . Fails wp:web "The content itself has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself." and to a lesser extent it smacks of a vanity page. Add the website as an external link to Mondegreen. --Faradayplank (talk) 05:22, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - Article has several references. --Joshua Issac (talk) 12:42, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, fails WP:WEB. Stifle (talk) 19:15, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
 * It passes WP:WEB criterion #1. The Entertainment Weekly citation, for example, is a review of the site, the USA Today article includes a brief review of the site, and the Lincoln Journal Star article includes information about the site's founder and how he got it started.

 * Keep – The article's subject meets the general notability guideline, with multiple significant references in the media. I've now added non-trivial mentions in articles in the Lincoln Journal Star, The Guardian, the Evening Standard, USA Today, The Advocate, and Entertainment Weekly. That's more than enough coverage for our notability standards, and there is more out there. Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 19:18, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
