Contested PROD. Article shows no sign of non-trivial coverage in independent reliable sources to demonstrate notability. RJaguar3 | u | t 03:22, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree, there aren't any "independent reliable sources" that cover Ware-BB. Still, in my opinion this article should not be deleted yet. File sharing is a very important topic, and while there are many good articles on Wikipedia on BitTorrent and other P2P filesharing subjects, there is not much about "file sharing through http". Someone should try contacting a site like to torrentfreak and ask them to interview the admins of warez-bb. Quaber (talk) 23:49, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete per WP:WEB, lacks significant coverage in reliable sources. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 15:42, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. File sharing is a very big part of the internet, and 'file sharing through http' using sites like warez-bb to index links to sites like rapidshare and megaupload is one of the most prevalent ways to do it. While wikipedia has many articles covering p2p filesharing (many torrent trackers have articles about them, and many client/server software for torrenting have articles about them too), there is almost no coverage of the web aspect of file sharing. This is why in my opinion there should be an article covering one of the biggest websites for distributing warez on the internet. I agree that right now this article isnt very good, but instead of deleting it the importance of this subject should be recognized and we should work to improve it.

- Delete Lack of reliable sourced indicating notability for this site means it fails notability. If reliable sources can be found, than an article on HTTP filesharing aggregators (as WAREZ-BB appears to be from Quaber's comment) - or whatever the appropriate term is - can be created.
