Internet Movie Cars Database

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

The only sources are from 2006 when the site was founded, with no substantial coverage afterward. A brief flurry of coverage from around the foundation does not translate to full blown notability if the site never got any coverage from third party sources after its foundation. Prod declined with a proposed merge to IMDb simply because it shares a founder was inspired by IMDb -- not a good idea in my opinion given the tenuous connection.

 * Comment. The sites don't share a founder. Rather, the merge requester said that the founders of this database were inspired by IMDb. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 07:43, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Which would make the connection all the more tenuous and the merge all the less plausible. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 18:19, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep -- There were plenty of links that could be used as third party sources, until the Nominee removed them. DanTD (talk) 16:33, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete basically, nobody cares about this stuff (I sincerely hope...) so it's not notable. Chutznik (talk) 02:02, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:WEB. Being "inspired" by something notable does not equal notability.  Alexa rank is a really unimpressive 61,130. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  18:52, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:WEB. The name really rolls right off the tongue, doesn't it.   JBsupreme  ( talk ) 18:59, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: This site passes WB:WEB IMO because it does have substantive coverage, delete votes should be made on the basis of WP:NOT#NEWS. Polarpanda (talk) 19:05, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
