Performance Forums

Fixing broken nomination by anon user. That said, there's no assertion of notability, and in particular there's no evidence of passing the WP:WEB test. For those of you who have and will comment: AfD is in no way, shape, or form a commentary on your website. I'm sure it's fun, and I wish you nothing but the best; however, I'm not convinced that an encylopedia should include an article on the website. See what Wikipedia is not for more information. You may also wish to see the deletion policy. Regards, Luna Santin 13:01, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In regard to Tychocat’s comment “If you have multiple non-trivial articles by uninvolved third-parties, please bring them out” may I present a rip from the tv show “Car Crazy” produced by Meguiar's one of the worlds biggest car enthusiast products producer and presented by Damon Duprez, one of Australians most recognized motoring journalists : http://simon.firesport.com/ccs13divxhigh.avi . I also have many print media references that I would be happy to scan and upload to my server if required. Simply because you do not know of this community does not give you the right to belittle it; in fact isn’t the purpose of an encyclopedia to educate people about that which they do not know or understand? Performanceforums.com has over 11000 members and has been a great technical reference for the Australian motoring enthusiast community for over 5 years now and deserves to be accurately represented on wiki.

The Performance Forums entry is quite an accurate reflection of the online community contained within & therefore should remain.

Even the list of facts at the end which appears to be random tongue in cheek dribble is comprised of notable quotes taken from memorable threads going back a number of years. People in the community know exactly what these references mean & knowing some of this history could be of potential benefit to a new user. -Ash H

The wiki entry will be cleaned up over the next few days, and will reflect the light hearted banter of the forum itself. It will serve as an important reference for people who are interested in the history and background of an important web resource for car enthusiasts in Australia. - signed on behalf of bigmuz/nikki Mrtwrx 12:02, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, "list of facts" seems to be a magnet for vandalism. NawlinWiki 13:22, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:WEB, also Alexa rank 691,881. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:47, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom, and per ASH H. WP is not a free webhost for your recruitment drive; the fact the material may be of "potential" benefit to a new member is nice but has no bearing on notability; the claim of being an "important web resource for car enthusiasts in Australia" is not born out by either references or citations. See WP:WEB for a fuller description of the issues we're seeing here. In particular, if you have multiple non-trivial articles by uninvolved third-parties, please bring them out.

This article is For teh lose ... I mean delete. In addition to the above-mentioned, the sentence "12. Whoever flagged this wiki for deletion is one of those members who requires an IP ban" shows me that this page doesn't have anything useful to say. - CheNuevara 15:33, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This forum is one of the longest-running Australian-based forums pertaining to automotive technology, having been around since November 2001, and is fairly well known amongst other Australian forums for it's focus on technical and performance issues related to car ownership and modification/tuning. If this article is modified to give a more historic view and neutral portrayal of Performance Forums, and remove some things like the top 100 list, surely it can be saved from deletion. -Bulgogi

Keep per the fact this is not a legitimate encyclopaedia, because the creators can't even spell encyclopaedia correctly, and it's full of useless articles already. You even have Wiki's on porn stars, lol. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bugle11tybillion (talk • contribs)

Keep Online forum that has press exposure and detailed history of its creation and evolution. SL666
- Comment "Press exposure" that is not apparent in the article, and going by an earlier version of Art H.'s reply to me, I realize he believes documentation is a waste of time. Tychocat 04:50, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
