Deletion of Veropedia (2nd nomination)

Comment: I stated 2 years ago at the original AFD, ''Delete (without prejudice against recreation when #NEWS surpassed''. The basis was that there really wasn't much evidence it was more than a few brief mentions in the news. The first time round it wasn't clear, and it was highly topical, so benefit of the doubt was then appropriate. But after a start with some press notice, it has now clearly not achieved long term historic note, nor does it really meet the criteria of notability. It is not a defunct once-notable site. It is now clearly a defunct once-''potentially''-notable site, where we can now see that potential was never realized. If that ever changes, recreation is easy

Comment: I don't have access to http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/infotoday/access/1428661061.html?dids=1428661061:1428661061:1428661061&FMT=CITE&FMTS=CITE:FT:PAGE&type=current&date=Feb+2008&author=Mick+O%27Leary&pub=Information+Today&edition=&startpage=31&desc=Pedia+Proliferation this which seems to be a two page article specifically on Veropedia and Citezendium (according to http://direct.bl.uk/bld/PlaceOrder.do?UIN=223723224&ETOC=RN&from=searchengine this abstract) which could be significant coverage. The fact that the site is defunct means nothing according to policy. Deadlinks do not invalidate their original content, and a defunct website itself is no reason to delete per . I believe that the other sources clear the bar of notability

Comment: Are we looking at the same list of cites? First two I picked (the ''Toronto Star'' and the ''PC Pro'' refs) were in-depth articles specifically about this particular site that do not appear to be simple press releases, selfpub, or bloggish. There's  Criterion 1 covered

Comment: fails , point 1, unfortunately. I voted 'weak keep' last time around but sadly, the site didn't keep up and has fallen into obscurity. Option to re-create if it comes back on-line and gains more media exposure
