 * Delete. Non-notable website. UnitedStatesian (talk) 02:14, 10 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Speedy keep. Not-notable? What are your arguments beside 'not-notable'? I simply cannot believe that this award winning website's page is being considered for deletion. I really don't see how it fails the criteria of WP:WEBCRIT! The claim that the website's content, which is mathematics and recreational mathematics, is not-notable in my opinion is biased. This educational website/project is free, it is a source for many students and scholars since 1995, it has been cited in many academic papers, such as Scientific American, Smithsonian, Neural Correlates, On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (OEIS), etc. It has received a long list of accolades from the world of education (see its references). I think this site has its place in WP in comparison to other similar sites.
 * To conclude, this website is used as an external link in many WP articles, so there must be some editors who believe that the website's content is valuable. I really think that the site as a whole is an exemplar for mathematical education for both children and grown-ups. -- Ruotailfoglio (talk) 04:48, 10 August 2017 (UTC) — Ruotailfoglio (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
