Woo! In particular, Apolyton was placed in a VFD because someone in the CivFanatics VFD pointed out that it wasn't being voted for deletion.
Now, the exact thing we should not do if we would want to keep the Apolyton article is sim[ply pack votes. That's not how the Wikipedia deletion works - it's a matter of consensus, not voting.
Simply put, we have to prove that Apolyton satisfies WP:WEB. WP:WEB is the notability guidelines for websites - remember that Wikipedia is not a web directory. (I'm rather annoyed at that, really - considering the fact that more and more people are using Wikipedia over Google) WP:WEB states that a website is notable if it follows one of the following criteria:
1. The content itself has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself.
* This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper and magazine articles, books, television documentaries, and published reports by consumer watchdog organizations.[4] except for the following:
o Media re-prints of press releases and advertising for the content or site.
o Trivial coverage, such as newspaper articles that simply report the internet address, the times at which such content is updated or made available, a brief summary of the nature of the content or the publication of internet addresses and site or content descriptions in internet directories or online stores.
2. The website or content has won a well known and independent award, either from a publication or organisation.
3. The content is distributed via a site which is both well known and independent of the creators, either through an online newspaper or magazine, an online publisher, or an online broadcaster.
