ENotes has been proposed for deletion. An editor felt the subject might not be notable enough for an article. Please review WP:WEB for the relevant guidelines. If you can improve the article to address these concerns, please do so.
If no one objects to the deletion within five days by removing the prod notice, the article may be deleted without further discussion. NickelShoe 18:50, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Hello, Metrofeed. You left the following message on my talk page:
- After reading the guidelines more carefully, I see the purpose in deletion, although it may be possible to improve the article, I do not have enough information to do so at this time. My purpose was to improve upon the article "Study Guides" which references various similar sites which do have Wikipedia citations. Should those also be deleted? I feel I am too new to delete them myself but perhaps you can take a look and see if deletion for QuickStudy and/or Bookrags is appropriate? I will remove the internal link on that article to ENotes now.
- Thank you for your message. As per your request, let's take a look at the other articles linked to from Study Guides, i.e. Cliffs Notes, SparkNotes, BookRags and QuickStudy.
- It is apparent from the articles themselves that Cliffs Notes (for the printed books) and SparkNotes (for the traffic) are notable, so we'll leave them alone for now. As for the others, a quick way to get a feel for the notability of a website is to look up their mentions on Google News (BookRags:1, QuickStudy:0, ENotes:8). Another is to check their Alexa traffic ranking (lower is better: BookRags:14'171, QuickStudy:327'042, ENotes:18,232; for comparison purposes: SparkNotes:2,665; Cliffs Notes:25,978, Wikipedia:22).
- This indicates to me that BookRags and ENotes might well be notable, but need more sources to prove it (as required by WP:WEB), but that QuickStudy is very probably non-notable. Accordingly, I've proposed QuickStudy for deletion and put up a "notability wanted" notice on BookRags and ENotes, to give editors time to assemble those sources.
- A final note: Please sign your messages on talk pages by appending four tildes (~~~~). Best regards, and have fun to continue editing Wikipedia. Sandstein 07:42, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
