ElgooG

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Fails WP:WEB. The only notable facts about the subject are that it's a literal "mirror site" of Google and it could be used in China where Google was banned. This could easily be merged into the Google article and this website isn't notable to have an article on its own. –Dream out loud (talk) 15:06, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, was notable in its day. Shouldn't be merged, because it was an independent project.--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 15:23, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above; we've been around this block before. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Otters want attention)} 19:28, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

So what makes this site notable exactly? Does "was notable in its day" imply that is no longer notable anymore? –Dream out loud (talk) 00:38, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Every news source basically states that the site is used in China were Google is blocked. I don't see what else besides that fact makes this notable. As per WP:WEB#Criteria, trivial coverage of web content in reliable sources does not establish notability. –Dream out loud (talk) 04:39, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
