Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/NASIOC
Alright, I have to speak up now... If there is no way we could ever meet your expectations of being notable then what is the point in a discussion.  This isn't a discussion it's an execution.  This has less to do with a discussion about guidelines and notability than it does with a grudge against all sites of this nature.  I can certainly understand not wanting to allow every single site, similar to NASIOC, on Wikipedia for the simple reason thats most truly aren't notable.  They are just another piece of straw in the haystack.  However NASIOC, being the single largest site dedicated to Subaru's, which is a feat in it's own right being that Subaru is such a very low production car, and people who are enthusiastic about them is even smaller.  The merits of NASIOC as a widely used resource, of notability, should come from the fact that nearly all the technical knowledge about Subaru's on the internet comes from NASIOC.  If you need proof, please feel free to Google for nearly any task performed on, or about, a Subaru.  I believe being a premier FREE source of information like that is quite an accomplishment, especially in today's internet where so many people are just worrying about where to cram more ads on their site to make an extra buck.  What bothers me the most is the salad bar treatment of the rules and guidelines here.  We were asked to show notability, we did so.  We were told those weren't good enough, fine, we found more.  We were told those still weren't good enough.  We referenced our Podcast, which as noted according to  guidelines is a legit item of notability, to that we are told that anyone can have a podcast that's not enough.  After responding properly to the request, we are still being told "that isn't good enough."  To that I answer, if you can't tell is what EXACTLY we need to do to pass your test of notability, because as of this point you are no longer using Wikipedia's guidelines, please let us know so we can do our best to make those corrections and be in compliance.  If you can't do that, then your AfD is pointless since you personally have decided apparently to set a bar so high it's simply unattainable, and cannot ever be met.  My question is why is a site of perhaps arguable even minor notability being so intensely scrutinized when I'm sure there are numerous other wiki's more in need or scrutiny
