Habbohut
This internet radio station claims forum 500 users (mostly inactive) and seems unlikely to pass WP:WEB. Not sure how many listeners. Kappa 04:35, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Changed my mind to vote keep if claims that they have guests like Ashlee Simpson and Gorillaz can be proved. Kappa 00:13, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Per nom. May also be self-promotion / not NPOV. Arviragus 05:20, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
 * For anything internet-related, 500 hits on Google is clearly not enough to pass muster. Delete. Johnleemk | Talk 12:19, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't know if this is the right place to place this, so please forgive me. I am a DJ on habbohut radio. The original number of 500 forum users was a typo by the original poster. We currently have over 5000 users registered on the forum alone. Average listener number per show is 100-200 and for certain events the number is in the thousands. We've had celebrities grace are airwaves including Ashlee Simpson, VJ Sarah Tyler, The Gorillaz, Sons Of Butcher, and Skye Sweetnam among others. The purpose of our Wikipedia article is not self promotion as Arviragus claims, but a single portal for users to view the history of our radio station, a list of DJ's, information about habbohotel (the video game that we are an official fansite of), and information regarding how and when they can have their chance at becoming DJs themselves. If this is against Wiki policy, please delete our wiki, but the wiki policies that I have researched say nothing about posting a Wiki regarding the history and information of a growing online community, which is what we like to refer to habbohut as. Thank you, DJ-Omega
 * Comment: That's what your website is for. You should have a single portal. WP:NOT a free webhost. RasputinAXP  talk contribs 22:36, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I understand what you are saying. Since the focus of the site is the radio, there really isn't a spot to post the history of habbohut. Ideally, our wiki would eventually include the dates that various celebrities were interviewed and provide links to where those interviews could be heard. Wikipedia was an indeal medium to branch habbohut out to the web. A way for people who search habbo on wiki (which you can classify as online media, something wiki policy prohibits) they can easily find another related website. Again, if we're in the wrong, delete our wiki. I don't believe we are, however.
 * OK the fact that you have celebrity guest convinces me that you are a legitimate radio station and of interest to wikipedia users. However you still can't use wikipedia as a web host, this has to be an encylopedia article about the station not a "portal". I advise you to list your celebrity guests at the top of the article, with links to prove the claims. Kappa 00:13, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you, But a quick question, why was our DJ list deleted? I thought it was a valid piece of information.
 * Come on, now, is there really any point in duplicating the DJ list in Wikipedia? Think about it, would you record this in stone forever? A little proof: |Skye Sweetnam interview (listed as Habbo Radio for some reason), |Article on Hotel CA, unfortunately I can't find proof that Gorillaz broadcasted on the Hut but there are lots of pages on the web with news about their tour of the Habbo Hotels. On their final visit to the UK site they popped on air with dileas and Dubya. - worMatty 2256 GMT 2006.01.10
 * Delete per above and WP:NOT a webhost. Werdna648T/C\@ 09:35, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
