• Speedy delete as obvious consensus reached. Otherwise, delete. Proto t c 14:00, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
• Comment I think this could go either way. Podcast Alley isn't exactly unknown in the podcast world. I find their claim that IP/vote matching is infalliable is, well, hilarious. Cyde Weys _vote 14:02, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Upon further investigation I have found that this site is the #3 Google search result for "Podcast", making it hardly non-notable. Then again, it is a directory site, of which there are many for podcasts. I think the best solution would be to merge this and others into List of podcast directories. --Cyde Weys _vote 19:01, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, nearly meets the strict WP:WEB with a rank of 10,641 on Alexa , and has 610,000 google hits. --Interiot 01:39, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Forallah 02:35, 6 January 2006 (UTC) Forallah User's only edits are to this recent blizzard of podcasting/blog "delete" votes and his/her talk page
• Keep. Ah, the GNAA goes for the bandwagon effect. This is a notable podcasting site, with a decent Alexa. Perhaps the GNAA members ought to take up a hobby, like knitting or something useful. --Calton | Talk 05:46, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Except one problem. If "Poscast Alley" is notable, where's entries for "Postcast.net", iPodder.org (got deleted/redirected, haha), "podcast bunker" and thousands of other shit sites which do nothing but reindex the same content over and over providing absolutely NOTHING NEW OR INTERESTING. Misplaced Pages is NOT an index of every damn website in the world. If someone wants podcasts, they can type "PODCAST" in google and find a pile of shit sites dealing with this stuff. The article is trash too, since when is tracking votes by "IP address" has been innovative, or even effective? Proxies anyone? I bet if the GNAA you really love actually decides that the GNFOS podcast is worth being #1 on that site, how long do you think would it take before thousands of "omg, unique IP address" votes will start to come in? Nice try though. --Timecop 09:23, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. Major site in the podcasting community. Haakon 22:22, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
