165:, where the result was no consensus on the back of very little interest. The only "weak keep" was based on the fact that there are apparently about 14,000 links to this site from within Knowledge (XXG). I dearly hope we haven't reached the point where one can confer notability upon a website simply by linking to it from here. And I fear that the large number of links from here is an indication that we have been spammed bigtime. That site obviously makes money from page views, and it is clearly an unreliable and not-very-useful source that we ought not be linking to at all, let alone 14000 times! 313:- per nom - 1st afd and 2nd afd both raise questions about notability.

Agree with Moondyne too - many, many sites by the way are used as Knowledge (XXG) references (although this one shouldn't be IMHO due to the number of inaccuracies and errors) which do not have their own articles, so this is a red herring. 208:. I don't think we've been systematically spammed, as the site does provide some useful data for lots of really obscure places. I'm unsure if its a RS though. But I agree that that has nothing to do with its notability. 84: 162: 79: 144: 180: 111: 106: 115: 98: 376: 360: 341: 320: 305: 284: 267: 251: 239: 212: 195: 169: 63: 332:.
