Seems to me we still largely follow this. However it's also partially redundant to language added to [[Doom Wiki:Policies and guidelines]] and/or [[Doom Wiki:FAQ]], and so I believe the info, if it differs, should either be harmonized, or this article should be made a redirect to the proper section of one of those articles. --[[User:Quasar|Quasar]] ([[User talk:Quasar|talk]]) 01:13, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

Sites with a significant number of hosted sites that meet this criteria are also eligible.

I don't agree with this one. I guess its in there to cover MancuNET, but then we should have articles for frad.org, alkali.org, which nobody really cares about anymore, or slipgate.org, or telefragged.com, ugo.com frag.com.. which are really unrelated. Stretching things further, I host at least two prominent doomer's webpages :P -- Jdowland 09:57, 28 Aug 2005 (UTC)
I hadn't really thought of it like that, good point. Each case would have to be treated on it's individual merits, so I suppose that item can be removed from the list. - DooMAD 15:08, 29 Aug 2005 (UTC)
