Non-notable, fails WP:WEB Cman 05:22, 11 March 2007 (UTC) Since the WP page has been removed before this discussion has closed. I add the references,:
 * Delete per my reasonings mentioned at Articles for deletion/GEWar.-- TBC Φ  talk?  05:37, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - No reliable sources about it - fails WP:ATT. Wickethewok 06:19, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
 *  Delete , I cannot find reliable sources Alf Photoman  12:11, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per sources found by DGG Alf Photoman  00:20, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. No sources pertaining to notability.  JDoorjam     JDiscourse 19:45, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep A valuable web site, and much used in a constructive way, judging from the number of downloads of interesting files. Not a commercial site--not part of the google-empire. 147,000 ghits for the phrase, almost all of them real. There are even secondary sites talking about this one.
 * There is now actually a commercially published book from Wiley, an academic publisher: Brown, Martin C. "Hacking Google Maps and Google Earth" (2006) July 2006 ISBN  0-471-79009-5  that includes it: Wiley description of book
 * and search engine watch, signed article
 * and a number of listings of its use for academic courses, etc. :listing in NC course about GE, listing in Geological Society of America page about GE, Royal Geographical Society, Geology professor's page at University of Wisconsin ", and another 120 from .edu I haven't looked at yet.   DGG 00:14, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
 * These references are on hacking Google Earth, not "Google Earth Hacks" the website.-- TBC Φ  talk?  04:38, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Does not meet WP:WEB.  As TBC mentions above, the citations listed by DGG are about the topic of hacking Google Earth, not about this particular web site. --Mus Musculus 14:51, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
 * The book is about the topic in general; the others are pages where use of this program use is recommended or described. DGG 22:39, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
 * This is not a program though. It's a website.-- TBC Φ  talk?  08:42, 13 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment I'd like to see the page kept up, but I think it should refer more to actual 'google earth hacks', rather than the website, apparently of that name.Cloveoil 23:11, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Merge anything vaguely useful on Google Earth hacking with Google Earth--ZayZayEM 03:25, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
