:::'''Comment''': What agenda do you have to push, Kotnitski? Remember, this is not the first time you've been hanging around articles relating to Daniel Brandt. ] was you in April 2008, trying to get Daniel Brandt listed on a surname page listing notable people with the last name "Brandt". I see this as an attempt at baiting, and it's obvious that you have an agenda to push regarding this. So, what is it? ] (]) 20:55, 4 December 2009 (UTC) |

* '''Delete'''. I don't particularly like the precedent we're setting here, but I admit that it's not good to do anything half-assed. (If this comment doesn't make sense to you, it's probably best you avoid this deletion discussion.) --] (]) 20:53, 4 December 2009 (UTC) |

::I would rather this is decided by uinvolved people according to normal Misplaced Pages notability standards, than by those "in the know" with special priorities. That goes for both sides. --] (]) 22:21, 4 December 2009 (UTC) |

*'''Delete''' there's no real assertion of notability in the article I can see. Yes, it got some passing mentions, but not even enough interest for anyone to be arsed writing a decent article and keeping it up to date.--] 20:56, 4 December 2009 (UTC) |

::Sorry, note I'm not even voting here, but that's another argument that I'd like to see explained. None of the recent versions of the article that I've looked at contain any kind of attacks against living people (and anyway, it's not past versions of the article that we consider when doing deletion).--] (]) 21:28, 4 December 2009 (UTC) |

*'''Delete''' — piecing together an encyclopedia article on a website (or pretty much anything else) based on a few passing mentions in news reports is really bad practice and I see no evidence that better sourcing is available, or ever will be. ] 21:39, 4 December 2009 (UTC) |

*'''Strong Delete''' - very similar to the previous ''Misplaced Pages-Watch'' AfD. It's a non-notable website, fails ], particularly point 1, and has fallen into obscurity. The references relate primarily to the site's owner, and the site itself really only gets a passing mention. Indeed, two of the refs don't mention the site ''at all'', yet others are 404'd, are NN blogs, or even Slashdot comments(!!). At best, create a redirect to ] where it's already mentioned. But no way does it warrant an article of it's own - ] <sup>]</sup> 22:11, 4 December 2009 (UTC) |

*'''Delete''' Looking back at the history and prior noms, I can see why it squeeked by deletion in the past. However, the attention it got previously doesn't seem to have borne out into real notability. --] (]) 22:50, 4 December 2009 (UTC) |

*'''Delete''', not because of the site owner's whining, but because a lone crank's criticism site just isn't particularly in need of a separate article; better to cover the topic more generally in ]. This site may once have had some notability (I can recall encountering it long before I'd even heard of Misplaced Pages), but this has declined over the years as others have come up with more notable and rational criticisms of Google. ] (]) 23:36, 4 December 2009 (UTC) |

** I'd also like to think the bar to notability has been raised somewhat since the article was created. However, neither the site nor the article moved with it - ] <sup>]</sup> 23:54, 4 December 2009 (UTC) |
