Wikipedia has way too many articles on websites, webcomics and other types of internet content -- likely thousands.
The problem is that around 95% of those articles are not sourced (or they are sourced from forum and blog posts) and at least 70% won't be able to be sourced because they were never mentioned in the mainstream press -- and probably very few were mentioned in books and journals.
I deleted about 50 of them, which looked totally non-notable
This seems a waste. Just because something hasn't been written about by the mainstream press doesn't make it worthless to people reading Wikipedia.
http://internet.wikia.com/index.php?title=User:Angela&oldid=1943 shows 17 examples of pages you deleted today which I've rescued for the Internet Wiki, but it's a shame so many hundreds like those are being deleted every day rather than moved to a more suitable wiki or rewritten to make them suitable for Wikipedia.
