Fails WP:WEB; no substantial coverage in independent sources referenced or found. Jfire (talk) 21:09, 25 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment - There is some coverage in news sources, but I'm not sure that it's enough to meet WP:WEB.  LinguistAtLarge &bull; Msg  03:51, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

 * I added two references (one of which is rather shaky)&mdash;I'll go out on a limb and say Keep.  LinguistAtLarge &bull; Msg  03:42, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Those don't do it for me. The second is just a quote from and link to an article on the site itself, and the first, while providing some minimal coverage, is oriented more as a biography of Nick Sousanis. It notes that the site "gets a couple of hundred visits a day". Overall, short of WP:WEBs guideline: "subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself".

 * I understand where you're coming from. But unlike promotional website articles that get added daily, I think this one documents a worthy site in a non-spammy way.  Too bad there aren't better sources available.  Also, the "couple hundred visits a day" was from a few years ago-- presumably it has increased.

 * Question - this article looks promising.  Does anyone have a newsbank account?  LinguistAtLarge &bull; Msg  23:49, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
