  • Keep The website was quite popular, and may be of intereset in future Wiki5537821 (talk) 08:05, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep; it already survived one nomination, so it can just be rolled back to a satisfactory state. -- Shyam Has Your Anomaly Mitigated (talk) 08:23, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep kids these days have no respect for the famous double entendres of old. Artw (talk) 02:40, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Most of the arguments here do not appear to be addressing the source issue (Wiki5537821 comes closest) - is there any good source on this website?
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 07:13, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Reading these, it seems that it is possible to write a decent article, far better than what Wikipedia has now. There are even (poorer quality) sources that I haven't cited that document additional things like the site's use of Google First Click Free earlier this decade (which I wouldn't trust to be objective on much else, but which I trust to report this fact reliably).
