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)
  • Comment: The article was recently stripped of most of its content in order to cleanup the page and find sources. If you need a list of sources that have covered LyricWiki, see LyricWiki:In the Press. --WillMak050389 18:26, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. Non-notable wiki. KleenupKrew (talk) 00:47, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. I don't see how anyone could call this non-notable unless they simply use that word as a Maoist hammer on articles they don't like. Get rid of the external link if you want, but a site with nearly a million hits a day, with millions of pages, and in constant use by several programs to obtain lyrics (Amarok, WinAmp, foobar2000, LyricsFinder11) it noteworthy. Object all you want to the site's content, but that's no reason to delete the article. --Aquatiki (talk) 16:44, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete, fails WP:WEB. No good sources.--Otterathome (talk) 21:16, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. Nothing has changed since the first time this was nominated and kept. It should stay for the same reasons as before: 7th largest wiki (3rd largest non-Misplaced Pages-related) with multiple applications for integration into music players of all sorts (covered in MacWorld, Mac User, Wired, etc.) certainly makes it notable. Evidence of non-trivial coverage was given then, and again now. If the situation hasn't changed, why waste time rehashing the same arguments again? KieferFL (talk) 21:25, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
