The result was '''no consensus'''. I am giving this the benefit of doubt for now. It has developed. Let us see whether it develops further. [[User:Bduke|Bduke]] ([[User talk:Bduke|talk]]) 08:30, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't understand. Why are you wanting to delete this article?

*'''Do Not Delete''' The page has now been overhauled with references, categories, and some facts either corrected or summarized. I expect if this article is deleted it will only resurface again, as the FAWM project appears to grow in size and cultural impact each year. Also -- the entry should be listed under "FAWM", not "Fawm." I don't know how to change this. [[User:Tatou27|Tatou27]] ([[User talk:Tatou27|talk]]) 06:14, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
**<s>'''Comment''' two of those sources are blogs, which are not generally considered reliable sources. <small>'''TRAVELLINGCARI'''</small>'''<sup>[[User:Travellingcari|My story]]</sup>'''<sub>[[User talk:Travellingcari|Tell me yours]]</sub> 12:41, 26 February 2008 (UTC)</s>
**'''Comment''' Which are blogs? TCT is a 20K+ Circulation Newspaper, Pitchfork and PopMatters are well-respected online cultural criticism magazines with broader readership than [[Spin Magazine]] ([http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details/pitchforkmedia.com?site0=pitchforkmedia.com&site1=popmatters.com&site2=spin.com&y=r&z=3&h=300&w=610&range=3m&size=Medium Alexa rankings]). <small>'''Note:'''[[Special:Contributions/76.201.157.35|76.201.157.35]] ([[User talk:76.201.157.35|talk]]) 14:27, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
***'''Correction''' the first pitchfork media appeared to be a blog, my mistake. I'm still not sure they qualify as reliable sources, I'll leave that aspect for someone else. <small>'''TRAVELLINGCARI'''</small>'''<sup>[[User:Travellingcari|My story]]</sup>'''<sub>[[User talk:Travellingcari|Tell me yours]]</sub> 15:19, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
**"Please don't delete" - makes no sense to delete this and yet leave links to the RPM challenge, NaNoWriMo and others. This is valid, I know because I'm taking part. I'm in the UK which should tell you something about the international spread of this project. And as Tatou27 stated above, it's FAWM, as an acronym, not Fawm. Apologies for my less than eloquent argument, I don't know much about posting to Wiki, but I'm passionate about this project and I'd like to see it continue to be represented.

::*Please see [[WP:OTHERSTUFF]] as it's not a valid reason for this article to be kept. <small>'''TRAVELLINGCARI'''</small>'''<sup>[[User:Travellingcari|My story]]</sup>'''<sub>[[User talk:Travellingcari|Tell me yours]]</sub> 12:54, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
** I'm also sorry to see according to rules of use that my comment will almost certainly be ignored because I have made few other edits. This may be because I know something about this, as I am involved as a participant. I am not confident enough using Wiki to post normally, and so haven't done so. I hope that you will appreciate that I am not acting maliciously. What sort of "reliable sources" do you need that would validate this article? If Wiki is for everyone, and FAWM is getting a high number of hits on google (regardless of whether they are blogs or otherwise) surely keeping this is not harming anyone? I'm happy to try to find validating sources, but two are already listed (pitchfork and madison) in addition to the several thousand google hits. What else do you guys need? Thanks. <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Kesstrel|Kesstrel]] ([[User talk:Kesstrel|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Kesstrel|contribs]]) 13:03, 28 February 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
*** '''Comment''' Blogs are not considered to be reliable sources because there is no editorial control, people can say what they want regardless if it's true whereas content in Wikipedia needs to me [[WP:V|verifiable]] from [[WP:RS|reliable sources]]. I'm sure you're here in good faith but it's important to understand Wiki guidelines regarding articles. This article may be kept, we don't know yet. <small>'''TRAVELLINGCARI'''</small>'''<sup>[[User:Travellingcari|My story]]</sup>'''<sub>[[User talk:Travellingcari|Tell me yours]]</sub> 15:09, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
** How long do I have to provide a source? BBC Radio York plan to do a piece on FAWM on monday morning.
