I can't find any notable sources in the article. FurryiamIAM 18:03, 23 July 2006 (UTC) To explain better: it fails notable (WP:WEB), WP:V, and WP:NOR. Basically wikipedia does not keep articles just because they have a website. Wikipedia requires a second party source like a newspaper article (please see those guideline links, it has to fullfill them). FurryiamIAM 19:21, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep, Which specific points do you need sources for? Every fact here seems verifiable by going to WikiZnanie itself. Also, the fact that you don't know russian isn't a valid reason for an article's deletion. --Snarius 19:08, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I have tried to explain myself better when I say notable sources (added to the top). FurryiamIAM 19:15, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nom. Also, per Snarius' comment, the site has not had any outside media coverage. —C.Fred (talk) 19:35, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per all above. Ericj 20:02, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep, per Snarius. --Nikolay Kolpakov 22:29, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Per Snarius. QuizQuick 02:07, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete To keep votes, please explain how having no source besides the website, or as Snarius said and the other keeps endorsed, "Every fact here seems verifiable by going to WikiZnanie itself" can meet notable (WP:WEB), WP:V, and WP:NOR? It doesn't seem to meet it to me. FurryiamIAM 06:03, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
