Progressive Boink

  • Delete Aside from the way the entry is advertising the site, the write-up itself stinks. It pretty much outlines the pointlessness of the submission with its total lack of content. Unlike the X-E/Seanbaby entries, it just SOUNDS like someone blowing their own horn.
  • Delete, Alexa ranking 74,327, 22 rated sites linking in. Sounds pretty non-notable to me. Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] (W) AfD? 14:25, 14 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. PB gets over 16k google hits for "progressive boink," has recievied tens of thousands of page hits for many of their articles (like the "rating the lesbians" series), and features like The Dugout have recieved a decent cult following. Plus, it's a spinoff/replacement for Whatever-dude.com, an X-Entertainment-style e/n site that I believe was fairly popular back in the day. Article still needs significant cleanup ('ve already tried to do a little, but I've been away for a few days and will continue), and I'm fairly certain that authors of the website created this article, but it is a notable website that should be kept. Also, original nominee, on article's talk page, nominated for the following: "I am recommending this for deletion, it's a pretty sad excuse for an article." Worth noting. --badlydrawnjeff 17:23, 14 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete. On the one hand it doesn't seem to meet WP:WEB; on the other hand I've actually heard of this site, unlike many that do meet WP:WEB. On the third and ultimately decisive hand, however, they've got a link to "Progressive Boink's official Wikipedia entry (Humor us while we talk about ourselves, please.)" on their front page, and that earns them a big black mark for vanity. — Haeleth Talk 18:34, 14 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • Not to play the "but but" game, but notable sites like X-Entertainment do not meet WP:WEB either, and that proposal should keep that in mind. And yes, the site does appear to have written itself, and I've already done some cleanup to rectify the apparent advertising, and hopefully we can vote with what's in the article in mind. --badlydrawnjeff 18:43, 14 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. WP is not a webdir, this entry adds nothing which is not basically site advertising. KillerChihuahua 20:07, 14 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
