 * The article author has made a comment, but he made it on the talk page of the AfD instead of the main page. I repost it here as a courtesy only, I am not entering the debate. Paste follows below. Hairhorn (talk) 00:14, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

I don't quite understand why the page for Spectrum Culture is now up for possible deletion. I know it is the only article I have written, but I took my time to make sure the information was accurate. I have references wherever possible. The site has only been around since October, so there are no secondary sources as of yet, but as it grows over time they will be added. I believe Spectrum Culture is notable enough to have its own Wikipedia page. If not for the increasing number of hits it receives each month, it also has Hold Steady keyboardist Franz Nicolay as a contributor. I know it doesn't have the influence of Pitchfork or the history of Tiny Mix Tapes, but both of those sites started out small and have grown into the great sites they are today. Why shouldn't Spectrum Culture be afforded the same? DreamGuy, I ask of you, what exactly needs to change on this page to allow it to stay up?Joe hockey14 (talk) 23:26, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep I go to this site all the time. I don't why sites similar to it are listed on wiki and this one should be deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.170.180.57 (talk) 16:24, 4 June 2009 (UTC) — 67.170.180.57 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Keep If bobdylan.com thinks it's significant enough to cite, that's good enough for me. &mdash;chaos5023 (talk) 11:49, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep I've been to Spectrum Culture before, and I don't know why a Wikipedia entry about it should be deleted. It seems to have useful information about the site as well as citations. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.122.231.105 (talk) 17:22, 2 June 2009 (UTC) — 66.122.231.105 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

 * Relisting comment I don't usually relist articles twice with this many !votes but IMO more input is needed from experienced editors based on our inclusion guidelines. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:21, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: the subject fails to meet any of the criteria outlined by WP:WEB. None of the 13 references listed on Spectrum Culture help to establish notability. The three objections above me are all WP:ILIKEIT votes that hold little value under WP:NOTDEMOCRACY. No relevant Google News results. A Google search for "Spectrum Culture" shows no apparent signs of notability. More specific Google searches like "Spectrum Culture" Portland OR Harris OR "Tiny Mix Tapes" OR Nicolay -wiki -facebook also show no relevant results. — Rankiri (talk) 01:56, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak delete - seems to be a non-notable website. References are of low quality. -- Scjessey (talk) 04:32, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
