Halloween Forum

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Deprodded with a promise to work on, but I see no way it could be worked on. Gbooks and Gnews turn up only false positives. Utterly fails WP:WEB — no sourcing besides the forum itself and Alexa rankings. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 22:39, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete. Fails WP:NWEB.  Seems to have one relevant hit on Google News, but it's subscription.  In any case, that wouldn't be enough to establish notability. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 17:17, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment Struck out the crapflood of SPA !votes from IPs. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 22:09, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. No disrespect to Halloween enthusiasts, but there are no independent reliable sources to establish this as a notable website. Read WP:N. The Blue Canoe  22:22, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete, fails WP:N very much. Oh, by the way, expect a LOT of single purpose accounts - I went and checked and there's a topic up at this forum that begs people to come here to save this page.  Taylor Trescott  - my talk + my edits 01:04, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
