I concur with User:DGG who AfD it 3 years ago. This organization does not seem to pass Notability (websites) or Notability (companies). The current refs include references to its own website, press releases, and a dead link to a local newspaper. Last AfD had keep arguments, but they just reveal the participants and closing editor's lack of familiarity with the AfD - they were mostly assertioons of WP:ITSUSEFUL, and AFD are not a vote. The only argument of some validity was that the website got a short paragraph in Time's 2008 list of best websites. I don't think that's enough - one paragraph is still a far cry from the requirement for multiple, reliable, in-depth coverage. We are NOT a directory of minor websites.

 * Delete. As I said before, "Unimportant social website with no evidence for notability and very little purpose altogether. Previous Afd in 2012, with no consensus-- the keep argument was apparently based on webby awards, which turned out to be webby nominations, which are not significant for notability . The TIME material is mere inclusion on a list, not substantial coverage. Everything else is a press release or the equivalent. The only thing added since then is Alexa rank, which we never accept as indicating notability"
 * the principal argument in the last AfD was COLOU�R IS IMPORTANT. Has I noticed, I would have considered deletion review.  DGG ( talk ) 05:33, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
