Comment: Keep and improve, per . Blatantly notable, a matter of improvement rather than deletion. &mdash

Comment: same reason as already stated: popularity does not meet . There is no apparent significant coverage in reliable sources, and what other sites may be using its software is irrelevant. This site fails all  criteria, and all  criteria. It has not "been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself", it has not won any "well-known and independent awards from either a publication or organization" nor is its content "distributed via a medium which is both respected and independent of the creators, either through an online newspaper or magazine, an online publisher, or an online broadcaster." It has not been demonstrated to be notable by Wikipedia standards. I can't even find a SINGLE reliable source that discusses this site, and the one source in the article is of questionable reliability. No one else has produced any either. Claiming they exist without providing is valueless. just because something uses its code or was inspired by does NOT make it itself notable at all

That this article was deleted on a literal interpretation of our guidelines indicates to me that the guidelines are in systematically incomplete (much the same way that  is biased against the way the East Asian AV industries work

Comment: An important part of the history of a particular (and not small) segment of culture, which unfortunately is not documented by traditional sources.  There are sources to use, but in order to use them we must accept that the sourcing standards for this article must be different from the standards required for other articles.  While I'm not a user of this site, 4chan, or any of the other sites they have inspired, I can see from outside this group that the influence that these sites have had on a whole chunk of Internet culture is significant.   is a guideline, not a policy, as is .  This means that there will be (rare) cases where they are wrong for a specific article.  This is one of them
