* '''Delete''' The suffix "-pedia" existed centuries before Wikipedia. And the two mentioned by Starblind - The Toonpedia and Rocklopedia Fakebandica - are named in parody of the ''[[Encyclopædia Britannica]]'' and existed before [[Wikipedia]] (or even Nupedia) did. and sites with the word "wiki-" prefixing it can be listed in [[List of Wikis]]. This is [[WP:OR|OR]] mostly. Do we have references that these were named after Wikipedia or just were using the terms "wiki" and/or "pedia"? most information is duplicate of that in [[List of online encyclopedias]] and [[List of wikis]]. "to tap into the interest in the online encyclopedia Wikipedia."? No, those are the sites listed in [[WP:FORK]].

*'''Delete'''. Having the same prefix or suffix as something isn't the same as being named after it. [[User:Angela|Angela]][[user talk:Angela|.]] 09:13, 26 July 2008 (UTC) |
