PopMatters
The article sounds like an ad for a website, and even assuming that all the claims in the article are true, it does not assert notability close to the level of WP:WEB, in my opinion.

 * Keep - It seems that if what this article says is true, then it's notable enough to stay. If interpreted strictly, "The content itself has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself." would lead one to assume this site is not notable, but having content and authors quoted by the many news agencies listed in the article should make this notable enough. --Daniel Olsen 05:50, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep as notable website. 82 citations from Google Books
 * Keep, well-known website, Alexa ranking of 6,136 as of this morning. NawlinWiki 11:35, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
