SydLexia.com
This is a pop-culture website that apparently has an Alexa rating of 65,000 and no cited print references, suggesting it hasn't risen to an adequate notability level based on our draft Websites policy. I suspect at least one of the participants in the site content (User:Valdronius) is also editing its corresponding Wikiquote article, which isn't strictly against policy but further makes me suspect its true notoriety. Its other uses in Wikipedia include external links to reviews for albums from Poison and Mötley Crüe, which make sense if it's a bona fide cultural reference. I'd like to get the community's opinions on whether we should Keep or Delete this article. (I'll hold off on my opinion pending further research.) Thank you.

 * Delete - nothing about this would hold for the WP:WEB criteria in my opinion. HackJandy 07:29, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete non-notable mostly vanity. the corresponding wikiquote article is up for deletion too, by the way.--Alhutch 07:35, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Sorry. I should have made the WQ VFD entry explicit. I nominated the WP article in part to measure the collective wisdom of WP in helping WQ judge notability for its article as well. Of course, each project must decide the fate of its own article. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 08:01, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - The web site exists, Floyddorz is the only contributor to the article. It doesn't say how many members in the forums, but I am counting under 2,000 articles, and hence definitely under 5,000 users.  Since it makes no claims to notoriety other than popularity, that's all we can judge it on.  And, sadly for it, it isn't popular enough. Zordrac 08:11, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, non-notable vanity article for a small site. RasputinAXP  talk contribs 22:06, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Other, There is a somewhat interesting issue here. While the site does not conform to the Wikipedia Website guidelines, it does conform to the Wikipedia Webcomic Guidlines. There is interesting because the site does maintain a webcomic: http://www.sydlexia.com/nesdrinkingsaga.htm
