 * Keep There are reliable sources cited in the article that cover the website in plenty of detail, and a few more reliable sources can be found by doing a simple Google News search. Tim  meh  ( review me ) 23:44, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep. Our article cites articles coverage of the subject in the NY Times and NYmag. That satisfies WP:GNG - but only just. If the article (or the subject) was longer in the tooth, I would want to see more coverage, but both are new. And that's a problem. This article was created on August 3d; it was proposed for deletion on the 6th (and poorly at that; the nominator failed to notify the article creator and did not include an appropriate edit summary). In my view, see User:Simon_Dodd/Some_AFD_considerations, we should heed WP:FAILN's encouragement to use less terminal measures against an article before nominating it for deletion, and that is particularly appropriate for a new article that is otherwise unobjectionable and whose subject has at least a faint glimmer of notability. Strangling an article at birth at AFD is potentially counterproductive and inefficient, and (unless the article is patently unencyclopædic) generally yields no benefit to the encyclopædia that would counterbalance the risk. I'm a deletionist, but this article should not have been nominated so soon after its creation; other avenues should have been pursued. - Simon Dodd { U·T·C·WP:LAW } 01:43, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
