CountOlaf.com
Of questionable interest or encyclopedic value; self-promotional and commercial. StanZegel 05:10, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Changed vote. Not every website needs an article. This fits fine in the external links section of said book/movie article. Alexa rank: 651,225. Besides, it states the obvious and describes sections you can see for yourself if you just visit the site. - Mgm|(talk) 09:43, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, interesting and of encylopedic value as unusual marketing for a major movie. Alexa would naturally go down after the film stops being promoted. Wikipedia isn't just for people with internet access. Kappa 14:13, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, WP:NOT a web directory. If there's useful content here, put it in the main article about the series.  If it's not important enough to go there, I don't see that we need it.  Friday (talk) 15:14, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

 * What information from the article needs to be retained anywhere in Wikipedia? It says it wasn't "as famous (or infamous) as other viral marketing attempts" and details some insignificant aspects of the site, without documenting any way that it had any lasting effect on its industry or on society.  None of this would make it notable or WP-worthy if it were any other website, and being a lame and largely unsuccessful commercial promotion for a movie doesn't make it more keepworthy.  Delete, no merge nor redirect.  Barno 20:23, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Lemony Snicket's A Series Of Unfortunate Events. User:Zoe|(talk) 21:50, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge per Zoe. "Though not as famous (or infamous) as other viral marketing schemes, such as The Subservient Chicken, it was still a viral marketing attempt." I am appalled. — Phil Welch 21:52, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge one line mention and perhaps external link in Lemony Snicket's A Series Of Unfortunate Events. - Mgm|(talk) 22:19, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge, and Delete as per Philwelch, Mgm. JesseW, the juggling janitor 06:59, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Non-notable marketing ploy. / Peter Isotalo 00:34, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
