Abc1uk.co.uk

Article about a web forum and fan site for the UK television channel ABC1. Doesn't appear to meet WP:WEB. ➨ ЯEDVERS 12:39, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

  • I know -- it's abc... The JPS^{talk to me} 16:59, 2 August 2006 (UTC) P.S. I'll get my coat.
• Keep - The site meets requirement: "The content itself has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself." - such as Cast interviews, as well as being the only dedicated site to publish advanced scheduling information from the channel itself. The site also creates independant articles regarding the channel. I can also see no real difference to Gateworld which has its own article, even though that is also only a "web forum and fan site".

You seem to be misreading the guideline. You're saying that the website has published interviews and scheduling information, but that has nothing to do with the requirement. To meet that requirement, Abc1uk.co.uk would have to be the subject of articles in other publications, such as in Entertainment Weekly or Time or some such thing. I see no evidence of that. In fact, when you first created the article, you admitted that it was an unofficial website. [1] Essentially, it is a non-notable fan site, which is the reason it has been listed here.

Oh, ok, sorry for that, I just misunderstood the guideline when reading it a bit ago. Lloydje 19:24, 2 August 2006 (BST)
