Students for Democracy

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This appears at first blush to be an article about an organization, but on closer examination, it is an article about a website that apparently aspires to be a combination news aggregator and forum. It has been tagged for 4 1/2/ years for having no references, other than in-line links back to the website, and for 3 years as an orphan. I can find no independent, third-party reliable sources about this website whatsoever. Against the possibility that, as a website, it might not get much mainstream press, I took a look at how active it is. On its forums, it claims 915 active members, and a total of a little over 107,000 posts over the course of 11 years (roughly 1000 posts per year), and the scroll on the left side of the page indicates that roughly 40% of those posts are by six users. It has no traffic stats per Alexa. The article is entirely promotional, about a website that appears to be the completely non-notable playground of a handful of users.

 * Delete. I did a search and while "students for democracy" brought up a lot of hits, 99.9% of those hits did not reference this particular organization. More specific searches brought up primary sources and a few junk hits, but nothing reliable.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 15:12, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:WEB. No Alexa rank means it isn't in the world's top 10 million or so websites and thus really really non-notable. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  16:29, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
