External links modified (February 2018)

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Neocities. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20130703035732/http://motherboard.vice.com/blog/neocities-is-recreating-the-garish-web-10-creativity-of-geocities to http://motherboard.vice.com/blog/neocities-is-recreating-the-garish-web-10-creativity-of-geocities

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

Deletion

There seems to be no indication of importance. The page is orphaned, and there is a lack of secondary sources to back up the article. Claffeylp (talk) 02:56, 8 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Neocities

The article Neocities has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No indication of importance

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

I disagree with the proposal to delete this page.

It is no longer an orphan page.
There are references from notable sources included (Wired, Motherboard/Vice). In addition it has also been mentioned numerous other places, for example the New York Times.

The page simply needs more work. —rjt (talk) 13:32, 28 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Better citations

We should cite these better. RteeeeKed (talk) 22:12, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed Deletion of Page

While there is a clear lack of information -- cited or otherwise -- on the neocities page, I disagree with any proposal to delete it. The site and general concept are crucially important in today's plethora of "use our tools to create your website". Such tools are always limited, and if your pages are designed by any external specialised software then you're in a world of pain with them. I recommend that the page authors include more material on these differences as the unlinked reference to "geocities" is woefully insufficient.TonyP (talk) 11:14, 29 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
