While this website claims to be the "7th largest wiki with over 670,000 pages" it does not meet our standards for verifiability and lacks independent, non-trivial coverage by reliable, third party publishers. Coccyx Bloccyx (talk) 18:08, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

  • The External links policy forbids linking to sites which violate copyright. An entire article about a site which violates copyright seems majorly iffy. Unless there were some really important reliable sources on this, such as lawsuits, takedown notices, etc., then this is not a page we should have. Delete. See International Lyrics Server for what we could talk about. Corvus cornixtalk 18:22, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
