Advertising for a website - if people want to know about linuxquestions.org they can visit the website itself! --Danrees 14:54, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep. Good stub. If they really do have 150,000 members, that's encyclopedic. Andrewa 16:41, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable community. —Markaci 2005-04-23 T 16:42 Z
 * Comment: Please don't assume all WP users have easy internet access. Kappa 17:12, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Huh? Who assumed that? Mgm|(talk) 21:44, Apr 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * I believe he is making reference to Danrees, who said people should check the original site. Keep, BTW. --Sn0wflake 21:57, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes, Danrees above, and Master Thief Garret below. Kappa 13:40, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep. Over a million Google hits.  RickK 22:47, Apr 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and Expand I guess. Actually has 1.7 mil Google hits! But needs to be rewritten so as to not sound like an ad but rather an article. But since they already have their own wiki, do they need to be here also? I really don't know... Master Thief Garrett 02:43, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC). Go on with this, it is a very good forum (redhatrosh)


 * Keep and expand. Notable. Megan1967 04:23, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep major part of the Linux community. N-Mantalk 20:29, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * keep if it really gets almost 2 million google hits - why not Yuckfoo 00:58, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep An important Linux community site. I agree with a rewrite to make the article less ad-like. --Btmiller 17:31, 1 May 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep A great resource for linux enthusiasts --Masand 19:37, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Although a member of this great website, I'm afraid LQ.org is not encyclopaedic content. What about other websites? Should Wikipedia serve as an advertising board for websites like this? Sorry. Please delete. --Bigbossman 01:55, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
