Notability of this site appears to rest on having been slapped around by Elsevier (together with Sci-Hub, whence the coverage). However, that's the only time it appears in the news, and also appears to be only thing worth stating about it. I don't believe this is sufficient coverage and notability for a standalone article. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 20:35, 7 June 2019 (UTC) Elmidae (talk · contribs) 20:35, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete. I agree with nom.  The only coverage I found was of the site being blocked because they're pirates, e.g., here.  Per WP:ILLCON, coverage of one event in which it was determined that these guys are criminals does not do it for me.  WP should not be offering them free advertising.

 * Delete While NWEB doesn't deal with the 1 event nature, I don't think its criteria in anyway support this for notability. Certainly no indication ofpassing NCORP. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 02:58, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
