[edit] African American World

African American World (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Although a search is difficult due to other topics that encompass this phrase "AA World Studies Program" and "AA WWII Vets" to name just two, there is nothing that asserts notability of this website as defined in WP:WEB Travellingcari (talk) 02:19, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete I think that the website could be referenced in appropriate Wikipedia articles, but don't think it is notable enough for an article of its own. Are we now going to make articles about every reference on Wikipedia? Sf46 (talk) 03:21, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. unnotable (and its Wikipedia's competition ;-). --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 15:27, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete I agree that it doesn't need its own article. --Stormbay (talk) 17:14, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak keep. I'm not quite convinced that this site doesn't meet the notability guidelines. There's a "resource" cited in the article that may be a reference. I also found a piece about it on the Dallas Morning News site[1] and it was previously selected as one of the best free reference website by one source.[2]--Kubigula (talk) 21:40, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
I looked some more and kind find any other decent sources. At this point, I have to agree that WP:WEB is not met.--Kubigula (talk) 23:19, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

  • Delete. This is one part of the website belonging to PBS. We don't even have an article on the pbs.org website overall, and I don't think one is necessary. Many websites have special sections for various demographic groups and while I found a couple of short blurbs about this one, that really doesn't seem to be enough for notability. --Dhartung | Talk 05:40, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete, doesn't seem to meet WP:WEB, although I could be persuaded to change my mind if more references were provided. Lankiveil (complaints | disco) 11:11, 11 February 2008 (UTC).
  • Delete - I looked pretty thoroughly but I couldn't find anything that asserted notability per WP:WEB. As far as the award for the best free reference website, I can think of a far better one, if anyone gets my drift. Jd027chat 19:41, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
