This (barely) survived AfD back in 2008, but it's had 15 years to improve since then and hasn't; it's still sourced entirely to itself. This wouldn't be a routine deletion—because a lot of Wikipedia articles reference it, outright deletion would leave a huge trail of redlinks—but IMO it should be redirected to Future plc. (This is a topic on which it's very hard to do a viable WP:BEFORE, as any search on it brings up a zillion Wikipedia mirrors, but I can't find any significant coverage of this specific website as opposed to coverage of content hosted on it.) &#8209; Iridescent 06:15, 12 February 2023 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice.

 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Merge and redirect to Future plc. There is no reason any of this information should be lost in the process; taken together it will still be a rather small section of the merge target. BD2412  T 06:16, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
