StillSmallVoice Network - Nottingham, UK
University Christian club. Demonstrates no particular notability outside Nottingham University. FCYTravis 05:20, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Disagree slightly, as it is known around Nottingham (not just the university), and several of the speakers and organisers who have been there are notable in Christian and non-Christian circles at a national - and international in some cases - level. Many are prominent in international political, social justice and fair trade movements also. The scope of the network extends well beyond that of a "Christian club." I haven't yet had the opportunity to provide links for many of the organisations who have been represented by and at the network.  It has further novelty as - to the best of my knowledge - this is the first organisation of it's kind in the UK. A further reason it has been listed is as the name of the society doesn't immediately suggest what it is.  This entry mirrors those of some other UK Christian Student Societies in terms of its notability such as the Christian Union movements, or indeed the entries of churches or their pastors. I'd suggest that it needs to be considered at a similar level as all of them as it is just as arguable that they are not notable outside their immediate cachement area. I'll try and move it to a more appropriate category if someone can tell me how! Any further thoughts? irish_admiral 13:41, 19 February 2006 (UTC) 
 * Delete No data on alexa, which means its about as popular as my personal web page -- Ruby  14:14, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. BrianGCrawfordMA 15:29, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
 * How does it compare to those others I mentioned? Incidentally, I used the search bar on alexa and it was the first search result... although it doesn't crop up on the traffic as it's relatively new and rough around the edges. The same is true of those others I mentioned, and they still appear to be here. Also, as I pointed out, it's more useful for that which it reports about rather than the name of the network itself. Eg. Type in Soul Survivor, Oasis Trust or Tearfund websites into alexa, and I presume they'll get more of a response.irish_admiral 16:36, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and no Alexa rank to speak of. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  17:51, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Is anyone going to answer my question? Is your criteria purely based on Alexa traffic rankings? irish_admiral 21:25, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Four external links, zero wikilinks. Advertising, albeit well-meaning.  Delete. --  stillnotelf   has a talk page  22:00, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Hello? Is this an encyclopaedia or a micropaedia? Is this a discussion page or people just saying things? I can put in at least one current wiki link if it helps... irish_admiral 22:57, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Try rewriting it so that it doesn't look like a brochure or advertisement. (I'm not one to harp Alexa rankings, so I can't comment there.)  --  stillnotelf   has a talk page  23:12, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. University clubs and their websites aren't inherently notable. AndyJones 20:47, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:VSCA. Too many external links, sets off my WP:BALLS alarm. Stifle 21:14, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
