Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Abandonia (2nd nomination)

Abandonia

Contested prod, I felt it could use some discussion. Looks like a very old AFD here that resulted in a delete. I'm going with Delete on this one, there's only one source that could be even close to reliable, and I'm not sure the website passes WP:WEB I'm also gonna bundle Abandonia Reloaded into here (another prior AfD, Keep result), they look like the same site. Also nominated -

Keep I also want to adress some misconceptions you have presented:

Abandonia Reloaded is not the same site, even though it may seem like that on the first glance. It does have the same owner, some of the staff take care of both places (or rather took before moving over to Reloaded completely) and both share the same layout. However, while Abandonia is an abandonware site, Abandonia Reloaded is all about freeware. Consequently, each site's subject appeals to a different community. The two should not be considered the same. If you want to nominate the AR for deletion, please do so in a separate AfD. Thank you

Blogs and forums may be considered questionable as sources for encyclopedic information, however they can be used as primary sources.

For references, I'll take a pick from our press archive in which we collect links to online articles and scans of newspaper articles about the site (or mentioning it in a significant manner)

Online: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7].

Scanned newspaper articles: [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13]

Keep - Given the press links above. If you want to trim some websites, you might want to take a look at Category:Webcomics, it's starting to stink again. - hahnch e n 08:57, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - As Horseman. --Abi79 10:10, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - The article in Die Zeit alone makes it notable and valid for inclusion. This page should be improved, not deleted. User:Krator (t c) 13:22, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
