Borderline A7 but looks like another admin had already seen this and left it alone. Article doesn't demonstrate any notability for this website and lacks reliable sources. Content can therefore be considered original research Spartaz 14:27, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep That probably should be a complete rewrite. The website provides what is arguably the most comprehensive listing and description of conlangs available. jonathon 22:30, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep The website is not merely original and pioneer in its field, but important as part of an online community.--Pedro Aguiar 00:27, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete as non notable website. I think the applicable criterion is CSD A7? Burntsauce 16:50, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. I'm sure it's a useful site for people who use it, but that doesn't make it notable. Crazysuit 18:29, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong keep. Langmaker is a central hub for conlanging recognized across all of the conlanging community. It's mentioned in the books Exploring Language Change by Ishtla Singh and Mari Jones and Waveforms Politics: Equilibrium Pattern Volume 4 by Gary Gibson, and is reviewed in the 2006 edition of Que's Official Internet Yellow Pages. The page is known to many Wikipedians here; as a matter of fact we frequently reference on Langmaker in conlang deletion debates, and the other people know instantly what we're talking about. How many times have we seen in a deletion debate on a non-notable conlang that the "only google hit is Langmaker.com" or "only ghits are langmaker.com and Misplaced Pages mirrors"? The LA Times article In Their Own Words -- Literally mentions it and its conlangs from `Ayvárith to Zyem. And as a final kicker, there was a Misplaced Pages article at Langmaker that was prodded and deleted, and this new one sprang up written by a different author. If two different people, neither of whom appear to be Jeffrey Henning, independently start Misplaced Pages articles on Langmaker.com, that says something about its notability. Wiwaxia 03:20, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Of course it's notable! Now I can do two things: either rephrase what was already said by Wiwaxia or just admit that I couldn't have put it better. I'll go for the latter solution, since I'm a bit in a hurry. —IJzeren Jan Uszkiełtu? 12:55, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
