Liberty Post

 * Delete non-notable political forum, no claim of notability is made. Wikipedia is NOT a soapbox. RWR8189 21:47, 11 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep


 * First of all, it is a notable political forum.


 * Secondly, you could have brought your concerns up on the talk page prior to invoking an unnecessary afd debate/vote, especially since this article has been up for several weeks without anyone else expressing concern over its notability.

 * For the record, here is some site information,


 * http://www.alexa.com/data/details/main?q=libertypost.org+&url=http://www.libertypost.org/


 * Traffic Rank 18,864.


 * Sites Linking To LP: 879


 * Plus, it has been in existence for almost four years, and has traffic that dwarfs some of the other weblogs/political forums that have Wikipedia articles devoted to them.

 * Delete minor, non-notable political discussion group. Akradecki 22:21, 11 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Also, this is not advertising.


 * I didn't create this article-contrary to your assertion-in order to promote Liberty Post, or to generate traffic for the website itself.


 * I did so because it is a moderately popular political website, which I thought deserved to have an entry.


 * For the very same reason, I expanded the stub on Freedom Underground, even though that site is much less popular, and-by the same criterion used to flag this article for deletion-notable.

 * Thanks for the heads up on Freedom Underground, I have also listed it for deletion.--RWR8189 22:43, 11 August 2006 (UTC)


 * You seem to be quite the deletionist.


 * Good luck pruning.


 * You're going to have your hands full.

 * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_White_Rose_Society_%28website%29


 * Another website, that has been the subject of two previously unsuccessful afd attempts, which-according to your criteria-is of dubious notability.


 * I'll try to link to a few hundred more so that you'll fulfill your quota today.

 * As is (no references or citations), delete per WP:V. -AED 00:04, 12 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep Doesn't an Alexa rank of 18,000 indicate that it's quite popular? Drett 01:23, 12 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Comment It's been over five days since this afd nomination was made.


 * So can we safely assume that this debate is closed?
