Not notable does not meet WP:WEB 12:24, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
1. The content itself has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself.
- This criterion includes reliable published works in all forms, such as newspaper and magazine articles, books, television documentaries, websites, and published reports by consumer watchdog organizations. except for the following:
- Media re-prints of press releases and advertising for the content or site.
- Trivial coverage, such as (1) newspaper articles that simply report the internet address, (2) newspaper articles that simply report the times at which such content is updated or made available, (3) a brief summary of the nature of the content or the publication of internet addresses and site or (4) content descriptions in internet directories or online stores.
No References to "ANY" works reliable or unreliable...!
2. The website or content has won a well-known and independent award from either a publication or organization.
No References to any awards 3. The content is distributed via a medium which is both well known and independent of the creators, either through an online newspaper or magazine, an online publisher, or an online broadcaster; except for:
- Trivial distribution such as hosting content on user-submitted sites (GeoCities, Newgrounds, personal blogs, etc.)
Content is probably OK ...
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Websites-related deletions. -- John Vandenberg 17:07, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. Never mind the content, the site simply doesn't pass notability because of lack of reliable independent sources. Realkyhick 17:13, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
- Weak Delete This is one of the most heavily traffic Torrent sites on the web, but without reliable sources as stated above, it does not pass notability. I also added the tag at the top of the page since the previous AfDs became rather heavy with SPAs and sockpuppets. Wildthing61476 17:39, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
- Really heavy traffic ?
- Alexa Rankings
- Really heavy traffic ?
- Mininova - 143
- TorrentSpy - 211
- The Pirate Bay - 292
- isoHunt - 306
- Demonoid - 397

- Keep, news and scholar results indicate it has been noted by more conservative sources. Then there are 100,000 hits and other coverage Cheggit is a spin off of Empornium. John Vandenberg 18:04, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
- Cheggit has an alexa Ranking of 4632 far down the list behind the well known BitTorrent Sites? 10:22, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
- Comments Only one of the links above is to anything more than a blog or a forum, the scholar link, and it only mentions the topic in passing. Not seeing any real quality sources. MrZaius 19:34, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
- fwiw, this is the text of the scholar result (google scholar shows two results but they are almost the same paper). John Vandenberg 19:54, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
- The actual refrence is "..some BitTorrent communities, including easytree, empornium.us, and pwtorrents.net,periodically enforce that the sharing ratios of participating members are above a minimum value..." and that's it in an 18 page article. They do not seem to have picked particularly popular or well known sites (EasyTree appears to have died)? 10:22, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
- These clearly do not count per WP:WEB guidelines. DreamGuy 21:32, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
- Delete per nom 65.241.15.131 19:47, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
- Delete - no sources to establish any sort of notability. DreamGuy 21:32, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
- Delete Advertising. Jtrainor 10:14, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
- How is it any more advertising than Slashdot? Just a thought. --Jmax- 12:09, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
