 * Keep - this was a super-important news site in its day, and I recall the genuine organic third-party journalism when it was eventually being sold by the founder - David Gerard (talk) 00:47, 16 October 2016 (UTC)
 * It's not an unfair nomination I must note, the article isn't great and is a bit too much like the usual tech site article - David Gerard (talk) 09:37, 17 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep Important review/benchmarks website in its days, broad coverage in reliable sources. Pavlor (talk) 09:12, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep -- found this mention, for example: Build It. Fix It. Own It: A Beginner's Guide to Building and Upgrading a PC by Paul McFedries, where AnandTech appears in a list alongside Ars Technica. Appears to be noted in its space. K.e.coffman (talk) 00:59, 17 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. It's got pretty good coverage, such as  and  from TechCrunch.  It's difficult sometimes to separate the site's coverage from that of its founder, but both have made headlines in the tech press over the years.  Like the others have said, AnandTech was one of the most important and popular tech websites for a long time.  Doing a Google Books search will turns up numerous books that recommend it.

 * Heh. Personally I think the founder article's a prospect for merging into this one, as the notable thing he did ... - David Gerard (talk) 09:37, 17 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - Major technology news website with substantial original reporting which has been cited as a source by many other major publications. It used to be an Alexa 2500 website before it was sold (which is pretty good for a news site). 69.159.54.56 (talk) 06:35, 17 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - I see enough reliable sources to take it to the threshold of notability.-- — Keithbob • Talk  • 19:55, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
