Unable to find any independent reliable sources that would help establish notability; the article as written does not even establish it and thus would theoretically qualify for speedy deletion. A google search turns up a decent number of results, but most of them are forum posts or blog posts and thus not reliable sources. Veinor (talk to me) 22:32, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Here is something from the Edmonton Journal, a daily newspaper: http://www.canada.com/edmontonjournal/columnists/story.html?id=163e1f5e-3990-4322-ac6f-e4263ceef51d Other Edmonton Journal results can be found at http://www.google.com/search?q=Connect2edmonton+site%3Acanada.com Its competitor, the Edmonton Sun, has a few entries from a blog maintained by one of its columnists which show up on a search at http://www.google.com/search?q=Connect2edmonton+site%3Acanoe.ca Granted, blogs aren't usually reliable sources, but this is one maintained by a journalist and hosted on the newspaper chain's website. --Eastmain (talk) 22:54, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete I cannot find any mention of this forum in any notable and reliable publication, because of this I do not think that the article meets the notability guidelines. Atyndall93  |  talk  08:30, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. Current version initiate and expanded by User:Connect2Edmonton indicating an apparent conflict of interest. No citations from sources independent of this organization, and since the subject of the article is a forum, unlikely to comply with either WP:RS or WP:CORP. B.Wind (talk) 05:04, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
