WAN, World Artist Network on MySpace


Contested A7 speedy deletion. Message on my talk page includes claim of "This is the largest group on MySpace", which is claim on notability and 199992 sounds like a lot of members, so bringing here for full discussion. Petros471 21:24, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete: Forum membership numbers are not the same as references by 3rd party reliable sources. Fails:  Verifiability. If this mini-site was truly notable, then others would have already written about you instead of you ending up having to write a vanity article about yourself. Unique Google hits for ("world Artist Network" MySpace -site:myspace.com) = 47 . Fails: Notability (web). --  Netsnipe  (Talk)  21:33, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak delete The member number is massive, but I don't see any evidence of media attention or otherwise having an impact outside of the group itself. I'm also concerned that keeping might lead to more myspace/orkut/yahoo/msn/etc groups wanting articles.  Weak delete, possibly change if reliable sources come to the rescue.

 * Comment: It's 0.2% of MySpace's 100 million accounts membership. And of those 0.2%, who knows how many of them are genuine contributors or people who just want another shiny MySpace equivalent of a Userbox on their userpage. --  Netsnipe  (Talk)  22:08, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Good point. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  21:55, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
