What are the notability criteria for Category:MediaWiki websites? it seems that the bar for inclusion is incredibly high if the General notability guidelines are applied. Owain (talk) 20:49, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The notability guideline for all websites (there is nothing special about MediaWiki websites in this regard) is WP:WEBCRIT. Thryduulf (talk) 22:57, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I can find no independent coverage of the site that is even remotely in-depth. Indeed, relying exclusively on independent sources I could verify that (a) it exists, and (b) it has maps showing traditional county borders, and (c) at least some of the data is sourced from the Historic Counties Trust. Only (a) and (b) can be verified in independent reliable sources (c comes from a personal WordPress blog). Every single one of the other mentions I've found (there were so few I've looked at them all) were simply mentions in lists of links or attribution as a source of information.
