I've been keeping track of the discussion (no particular personal opinion on it) and currently some of the deletion arguments seems to be holding strong sway; particularly comments about NOTDIR & content forking etc. The keep arguments largely centre around ILIKEIT; some assert notability under GNG but so far no one has presented a source that adequately covers this. I've been through a big portion of the sources looking for one that covers this intersection/topic in sufficient depth to assert notability and so far there isn't one. It's essentially a collection of trivial mentions & news/gossip reports. Whether that adds up to GNG I don't know. The keep votes aren't doing a good job of convincing me.
