I couldn't establish that this meets
WP:Notability (web) or
WP:GNG - there are not enough reliable sources out there to support it.

Delete - no significant, non-trivial coverage from independent sources, per WP:WEB and WP:GNG.

Keep. Major website, and has been for two decades. Plenty of significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. The fact that people haven't added many citations to the article doesn't change that. Deleting this article would be like deleting
GeoCities. --

Keep - I'm seeing enough sources to justify a weak keep on GNG grounds, but I'm bumping up to just "keep" because part of the reason finding in depth coverage is difficult is that there are so many sites talking about what people are doing/writing on Data Lounge (e.g.
Gawker has a tag for it) and so many citations without talking about it much directly. Neither of those are guarantees, and certainly wouldn't cut it on their own, but they're decent indicators of a site's significance such that, combined with the sources I do see (e.g.
Wired,
Advocate,
Advocate (via HighBeam)), I'd have to say keep.</runonsentence> — Rhododendritestalk \\ 14:45, 10 February 2016 (UTC)reply

Keep. This is very clearly a large website visited by many people in the LGBT community for quite a while.
