The result was speedy keep, nominator was a single purpose account acting in bad faith. Sean William 13:50, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
No claim to notability other than being Sci-Fi Site of the Week. Nothing like some deleted sites (like Encyclopedia Dramatica). Clohnyn 15:02, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - This should be the third nomination. The first two discussions can be found here and here. --OnoremDil 15:08, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy Keep. Wookieepedia's article on itself presents sufficient proof of notability, such as being mentioned by the TIME magazine, New York Times, Jimbo Wales, at least four official Star Wars writers, and TheForce.Net. If that isn't notable, I don't know what is. - Sikon 15:24, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. --Imperialles 15:35, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- The deleted Encyclopedia Dramatica has been mentioned in The Guardian, The Washington Post, Toronto Sun, Ottawa Sun, Spiegal, some French newspaper, MSNBC News, 6 major internet blogs, and probably some other places by now. That's more than this site.

- The deletion of one article is not a reason to delete another article. If you have an issue concerning Encyclopedia Dramatica, nominating other articles to compare to it is not the way to address it. --OnoremDil 16:15, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy Keep, per Sikon. The Wookieepedian 17:36, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete The place is bad. So is the article >:-D
- Keep. What, did the article suddenly start sucking or something? The fact that this is the third nomination suggests to me that a third nomination was unwarranted from the get-go. DrVerlucci 01:02, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. What the hell is going on? Are you going to delete Uncyclopedia also? Eddie Guimont 08:52, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per Sikon Percy Snoodle 11:51, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 12:08, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy Keep Kuralyov 12:35, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy keep I have my doubts about the faith of this nomination... this AfD was the account's first and only edit, until nominating Rod Dreher for deletion with the reason "non-notable asshole". Seems to be trying to make a POINT, and the references to Encyclopedia Dramatica speak for themselves. --Canley 13:05, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy Keep as per Sikon and Canley; when one of the arguments about a French newspaper is being liked to the "Wimp" article, I become suspicious of the motivations of the nominator. -- GJD 13:27, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
