 * Keep I wonder if people are really checking the notability before nominating a page for deletion? I seriously doubt now!!

If this is not the criteria of being notable then not sure how a subject would be termed as notable!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andrewjohn39 (talk • contribs) 19:13, 23 June 2015 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.<ol> <li> The article notes: "PaGaLGuY.com isn't a portal devoted to mental health nor is it the usual Internet joke site. It is a Web site that is a fully moderated forum, started in 2002 for MBA aspirants. It has now become a knowledge-sharing and information-building initiative with chapters in every major Indian city. It also has a `serve society' objective. Allwin Agnel (26) from Neutralweb Solutions, Mumbai, the founder, says, 'The focus of the forum is to provide a platform for people to reach out and help each other score high percentiles in the CAT (Common Admission Test) and other B-School entrance examinations. By acting as a bridge between current B-School students and aspirants, the forums have become a true knowledge-sharing initiative.' Since its inception in September 2002, PaGaLGuY.com has grown, with over 24,000 registered users. It was chosen to be the Web media partners for the biggest B-School fest in the Asia-Pacific, Confluence 2004, held by IIM- Ahmedabad."</li> <li></li> <li></li> </ol>There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow PaGaLGuY to pass Notability, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".
