From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Puchland was proposed for deletion. This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was

Puchland, a minor website with virtually no relevant Google hits other than Wikipedia mirrors. Somehow survived VfD back in May 2003 - SimonP 01:16, Sep 2, 2004 (UTC)

  • Delete. Wow, went from 14 hits to well, let's see, filter out the Wikipedia clones... about 30, and most of those seem to be for some polish company? Are they actively trying to be non-notable? Should have been deleted the first time. -- Cyrius| 03:43, 2 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. It's not a website of its own anyway, just another forum / community thing. Wikipedia is not DMOZ. --Ianb 06:20, 2 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Reading over the May VFD in the discussion page, it was claimed that someone was editing this article. However, as it stands, the article isn't very long and it has been, what 5 months? -- Allyunion 10:22, 2 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete: Wikipedia is not a web guide. I'm not sure why it was kept, even with an active editor. Geogre 12:33, 2 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep again. You can't just keep listing these over and over again. anthony (see warning) 15:10, 3 Sep 2004 (UTC)

  • Delete. I have absolutely nothing against using informed, well-researched websites as a basis for a Wikipedia article, but this excerp from Puchland ahrdly fills me with great encouragement that this is an article of the age, or even the year, the hour, the minute, or the second.

"The community takes pride in the weird names of its members, and the even weirder topics of its discussions and competitions. The Great Rabbi of Trivium and the Hanar (Chief Nerd) are two of the leading figures in this community.

"Trivia competitions, Limerick composing competitions and weird debates (such as one about various kinds of pickles) can be found in the community. Puchland regularly distributes valuable prizes for the winners, which includes "Nekudots" and trips to exotic places. Puchland is mainly a Hebrew-speaking site, although English speaking members also participate."
