Unremarkable niche social network. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 16:33, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

I posted this article in July to share with Wikipedia readers what many in recovery already know. This is the most legitimate recovery related website I have found. I have been a member there since May of 2008. Why is this just now being marked? I am a regular contributor on Wikipedia under a different username (used a different name here to protect my anonymity) gfp1968 (talk) 16:44, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
 * As a regular WP contributor, you should be aware that articles may be subject to deletion at any time if they fail to meet WP policies and guidelines (in this case, WP:NOTABILITY). You removed COI, advert, and self-referenced templates from Michael Cartwright which prompted me to look at your other edits involving Cartwright, and lead me to this article. I don't believe it is notable, but asserts notability as the "largest recovery community" so was not eligible for speedy delete. I hope that answers your question.

 * My contributions to the article Michael Cartwright was an effort to expand upon the entry SoberCircle. Deleting the templates was an error on my part, but I don't feel it demerits the relevance of SoberCircle.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gfp1968 (talk • contribs) 17:07, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Your actions on other articles have no effect one way or the other on the notability of SoberCircle - I was just answering your question about why it is being nominated for deletion now. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 17:15, 11 September 2008 (UTC)


 * delete Not yet notable, only two news mentions for the site (rather than unrelated use of the two words.)   Sticky Parkin 21:02, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:43, 16 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete - Lacking sources. -- Scarpy (talk) 04:49, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: 30k users for a recovery board on the Internet is pretty small.  No indication that it has had an effect outside of itself or generated substantial note.  Utgard Loki (talk) 16:51, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
