Taringa!

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Tagged for twenty-two months, Taringa! and Poringa! both lack reliable secondary sources. Popular in Argentina for providing a mixture of illegal and explicit content, there is one mention in La Nación ("...the controversial site...") but little or nothing in the English speaking world. As such, the article amounts to trivial coverage of modalities with a plethora of blogs for External links. -- Wikispan (talk) 17:40, 14 May 2010 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Comment "but little or nothing in the English speaking world" is irrelevant here - sources don't have to be in English. The fact you only found one source in Spanish is relevant. David V Houston (talk) 01:34, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep. OK, let's look at this more closely.  I find a link that says " Taringa!, uno de los sitios más visitados de la Argentina, lanzó su proyecto de comunidades, una herramienta que, según estiman sus directores, servirá para ... " One of the most visited sites in Argentina sounds notable. My Spanish sucks/is next to non-existent, but  looks to be about the site,  is about the founders? who are being discussed because of the site;  is, I suspect an RS newpaper article about the site;  about the phenomenon the site inspires.  And this is just on the first page of news hits (I searched with the added term -Brisbane).  If they have coined a word 'taringuero' for aficionados of the site, that also sounds like notability.

 * La Nación is the only decent source I could find, though my search was not exhaustive. It would help if someone with knowledge could find others. Wikispan (talk) 17:05, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
