An interesting newsgroup, but I don't think it meets the  criteria for notability. Incidentally,  ought to cover newsgroups based on its provision that "Any content which is distributed solely on the Internet is considered, for the purposes of this guideline, as web content." (Technically and historically, I believe some newsgroups were distributed other than by means of the Internet, but I don't know if that is the case anymore, and at any rate the non-Internet distribution of newsgroups is unlikely to be significant in contemporary times.) The most likely method by which a newsgroup could satisfy  would be to meet criterion 1, "The content itself has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself." I will discuss this issue at Wikipedia talk:Notability (web
