Oceanic flight 815 website
--I feel that it should be as it is a perfect example of synergy within the media & therefore a fantastic encyclopaedic resource. As a media studies teacher I know that synergy is taught every single year & several of my students this year have chosen Lost. I'm sure this number will increase in the future - Shaft121 19:10, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. The info on this "official" website is there for fans, and consists completely of teasers, potential red herrings, easter eggs. Fancruft by definition, and not notable. PKtm 15:19, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Does not assert its notability. Wikipedia articles should not be about a single promotional site, no matter how interesting to fans. -- LeflymanTalk 17:28, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is an official ABC website & thus official for the series Lost.  I would prefer that the article was merged into an article about all of the official US Lost websites, each detailing the Easter Eggs, trailers, etc in each website.  I discovered this website through wikipedia, I feel it should stay on there - Shaft121 17:54, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete It may be an official ABC website, but that does not mean that it requires its very own encyclopedia article! There are literally dozens of websites that detail all the easter eggs and trivia and websites of Lost - Wikipedia is not the place for that. Danflave 19:07, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Non-notable; Wikipedia is not a source for indiscriminate information. &mdash; Rebelguys2 talk 20:14, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete. I watch the show, but I'm at a loss to explain why Wikipedia should have an article on this.  --C S (Talk) 23:53, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Alexa says this site rates at 111,500 and falling. According to Google, [147 unique sites link to this webpage, the majority of which appear to be weblogs. An external link in the main Lost article is provided to this site. In my opinion, this is all we need. -- [[User:Saberwyn|Saberwyn]] 03:42, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
