Notability? I can understand creating standalone articles about website sections that are notoriously well known (e.g. The_Donald, /pol/) but this, this doesn't strike me as notable at all. The referencing is even worse. Out of 3 links, in two the website is mentioned in passing, and the third one is a link to website dedicated to data about subreddits.

 * Keep The first two sources were more than passing mentions, I'd say, and additional references are available as shown above. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 21:36, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. There is in-depth coverage of this forum in particular, e.g. - . Icewhiz (talk) 13:45, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep per sources brought during this discussion.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:28, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep – I see some sources, but I'm unsure if that's enough for GNG. I'd like to see the article expanded and have it implement more sources over the next few months. If anyone fails to do that, I could see a revisit of the nom happening. Redditaddict69 (talk) (contribs)  07:26, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
