There is very little indication that the website meets the WP:GNG as the article on "PRWeb" is clearly just a press release for the website, and I have been unable to find a working link to "carnalpedia". Possible hoax or non-notable website. GiftigerWunsch [TALK] 13:59, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment 'Tis an odd one, this is. There are plenty of articles about the website on Google, even if from debatable sources, see here, here, and here, but the website itself refuses to load in my browser, even if all other pages do, and therefore I am suspicious as to whether it exists at all. Anyone else unable to load it? WackyWace ^{talk to me, people} 14:38, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Whois information for the carnalpedia.org domain name confirms that it is registered and seems to suggest that it has been quite active, but it's now listed as inactive. It seems like it may have burned out pretty quickly. GiftigerWunsch [TALK] 14:56, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Also, googling "Carnalpedia" reveals some sites claiming that the PR for the website was "premature", and supporting that it didn't make much of a "launch". It also seems that even the google caches of carnalpedia are not working. GiftigerWunsch [TALK] 15:02, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Every possible way to check the uptime of a certain website fails — the subject is down, even a simple ping reports a 100% packet loss. — Zhernovoi (talk) 11:12, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
