GroundReport

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I have gone through each and every source of the article. None of the source is independent and reliable to make this website a notable one. Most of the sources are blog, and some sources are about other topics where the name of this GroundReport has been mentioned once or twice. Such trivial mention can not make a subject notable. - Mar11 (talk) 16:01, 5 April 2016 (UTC) Mar11 (talk) 16:01, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. Great deal of books and scholarly sources at . &mdash; Cirt (talk) 21:46, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
 * As usual, reposting Find sources AFD, which is provided at the top of every AfD, is not a substitute for an actual argument pointing to actual sources. &mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 15:35, 13 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep - Passes WP:GNG. I'll list sources in very rough descending order (from most significant to least [but more than a passing mention]). The founder, Sterne, is also notable and has her own article already. I tried not to include articles which just mention GroundReport in an article about her, but am including articles which are primarily about her but also go into a bit more detail regarding GroundReport.

 * Those don't seem very in-depth. Some of them are basically trivial mentions, especially the NYT source. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 07:45, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
 * As that was at the bottom of the list, yes, that was the weakest of the bunch :P I've removed it. As far as being in depth, though... the three academic sources are in part or in whole about Ground Report (the name is even in the title of the first two, while in the third it's one of three sites that provides the basis of the study the paper is about). &mdash; <span style="font-family:monospace, monospace;"> Rhododendrites <sup style="font-size:80%;">talk  \\ 14:12, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
