Furnation[edit]

Advertising/promo piece. --BesigedB ^(talk) 21:58, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Keep it's got nearly 100,000 Google hits, and it's been around for nearly a decade. Easily notable, though the subject matter is certainly not for everyone's taste. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 00:19, Jan 27, 2005 (UTC)
Delete or speedy. The reason why FurNation (correct title) has 100,000 Google hits is that it offers free hosting. That it serves as a furry Geocities of sorts doesn't in itself make it notable; in fact, it has done little else besides creating a pornographic magazine. Fancruft.

Around 27 thousand Usenet hits discussing it as an apparently notable subject in its subculture. Keep. Samaritan 01:43, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Popular fetish sites are notable and encyclopedic.--Centauri 02:24, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Notable enough. JoaoRicardo 06:52, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Delete, as promo piece for non-notable site. (Mere popularity doesn't constitute notability; if it did, a great number of porno sites would be notable, pizza delivery companies' websites would be notable, etc. etc.) -- Hoary 09:23, 2005 Jan 27 (UTC)
Comment: It doesn't get that much google hits because it's a porn or fetish site. It's a site where furries can get their website hosted, and it's their individual decision alone what to put there, whatever it is. --Conti|✉ 11:47, Jan 27, 2005 (UTC)
Keep. The article could probably use cleanup, but the site seems reasonably notable within its subculture. Shimeru 22:55, Jan 27, 2005 (UTC)
Keep I'll take Samaritan's evidence of notability. Kappa 23:36, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Middle earth will freeze over before this article is deleted. Allow for organic growth and expansion. GRider\^talk 00:09, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)
