[edit] PhysOrg.com

PhysOrg.com (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Does not satisfy WP:WEB Alex Bakharev 02:59, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Oppose PhysOrg.com is used as a source in at least 61 Wikipedia science articles. It needs an entry to expain its standing as a news source. See [1] Lumos3 09:46, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep per Lumos3 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lee Vonce (talk • contribs) 17:35, 8 January 2007 (UTC).
  • Keep I agree wtih Lumos's reasoning, and considering Alexa ranking, notable. --Falcorian (talk) 19:44, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Widely-quoted, as a simple Google search shows. TimVickers 01:04, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Google has half a million hits - its quite popular and deserves an article.
  • Weak keep The fact that PhysOrg.com is used as a source for many WP articles is significant. Somehow though, I can't see there being enough material for this article to ever develop past a stub. HEL 21:34, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep: this article needs a little context and work, however. Basically the Digg.com or slashdot of physics and related technology. Danski14 22:43, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong speedy keep Per Danski. This is the major new source in the popular science field. Reliable enough for its articles to be used as a source in WP. Would the nominator care to say in what way it did not satisfy the WP:WEB?DGG 07:05, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Impressive "What links here"-list. highlunder 11:43, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
