No indication that this is a notable website. References are a link farm of content from the site. Stephen 21:51, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

One Thirty BPM is recognized and used by Metacritic as a notable site. Conversely, Wikipedia uses Metacritic to determine what reviews are "professional". Therefore it would seem to me, One Thirty BPM is clearly a notable site. The article also lists that it's on Metacritic. So how is there no indication? — Preceding unsigned comment added by NIN815 (talk • contribs) 01:44, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

As far as notability, the site is now a featured publication on Metacritic. Is that not significant enough? Doesn't that fill criteria #1 of web notability? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(web) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ekaloudis (talk • contribs) 03:17, 24 January 2011 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Besides the Metacritic thing, which is pretty significant, the site also draws over 100,000 unique visitors a month and has been sourced by many prominent websites including Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, and NME. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.171.213.242 (talk) 00:08, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Yes, this would seem to be enough to include One Thirty BPM on Wikipedia. Being listed on Metacritic is generally considered the watermark for what is a recognized and notable critical source, whether that be in print or on the internet. Deleting this wouldn't seem to be doing anything to help the website, nor the music community that relies on websites like this in this time when album sales and concert tickets sales continue to plummet. If the goal of Wikipedia is to make a comprehensive listing of what is notable in our culture, surely listing One Thirty BPM won't hurt that standing and will only help it, especially in the longterm, as the site is fast-growing and at the point to where it shouldn't be ignored. -Philip Cosores 1-26-11 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.234.102.30 (talk) 00:15, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

One Thirty BPM is a website that is recognised by many if not all of the independent record labels in the USA and UK. They respect and value their opinions and this is shown by the fact that the website receives promotional material from them for review puposes and for competitions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.35.145.205 (talk) 18:09, 31 January 2011 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.
