While cool, this website does not appear to be notable. — Preceding signed comment added by Cymru.lass (talk • contribs) 18:25, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep The problem with finding a reference about another reference work is that there are too many references to it in Google Books and Google New Archive, and you would have to go through them one at a time to see which are reviews of the website and which are using "Encyclopedia Titanica" as a reference. There are over 1K listings in Google Books and several hundred more in Google News. You get the same problem for every reference work. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 14:15, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. None of the three references are exclusively about the site, and the longest only devotes a paragraph to it. I see lots of passing mentions, but not substantial writeups. It's rather telling that, while cited, it's not even listed in the External Links sections of RMS Titanic and Passengers of the RMS Titanic. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:20, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Weak keep per WP:IAR. There are no in-depth writeups about the site that I can find, but it is cited too often to ignore. Clarityfiend (talk) 21:31, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
