Men's Daily News

I think I'm definitely reading WP:WEB more broadly than you are, but I think MND meets those criteria.

"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" First of all, I found a wealth of trivial mentions of MND (far too many to list), indicating that it's a well-established, fairly prominent website. That said, WP:WEB suggests that websites should be the subject of multiple, independent, non-trivial published works. Upon closer examination, many of the sources I located with Google only mentioned MND tangentially, although it's worth noting that they treated it as a fairly prominent site. Here are some sources that are independent of the subject that count as significant coverage:

• [1] is an article about MND that appeared in several major newspapers.
• [2] is a magazine article about MND.
• [3] is a published online work about MND.
• [4] describes MND as a "credible, daily news, commentary, sex roles, satire, irreverence, metropolitan trends," although I'm not sure if that counts as a reliable source.

"The website or content has won a well-known and independent award from either a publication or organization" N/A

"The content is distributed via a medium which is both respected and independent of the creators, either through an online newspaper or magazine, an online publisher, or an online broadcaster" Not sure if this applies. For what it's worth, I was able to find articles from MND on other sites, although I'm not sure if any one of those qualifies under this criterion.

It's definitely a borderline case. I'll post this to the AfD as well, and we'll see how it plays out. A Stop at Willoughby (talk) 22:46, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi, why did you remove the Volleyball section on the David Starr Jordan HS (Long Beach) page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jdsids85 (talk • contribs) 00:23, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
