No evidence of sustained coverage outside a CNN article from 2003 I can find barely any references to it online.Hemiauchenia (talk) 22:15, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: I didn't realise that this already had deletion discussions. The reference to The Chicago Tribune story from the 2012 revision was removed, and I can't find any reference to the eNews Channels story on the internet, is 2 profiles in CNN and the Chicago Tribune enought to pass the GNG?

I've found the Enewschannels.com story Does this count for SIGCOV? Hemiauchenia (talk) 22:28, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

an article in The Guardian, this is definitely enough for SIGCOV, my apologies. Hemiauchenia (talk) 22:40, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think that this illustrates an interesting point about historical notability for websites, all of the SIGCOV I can find dates between 2003 and 2007, which is in line with the Google Trends data. I can't find any reference to the CNN, Chicago Tribune or enewschannel articles outside of a direct search for the text contained within the articles, and so I would never have found them if they were not cited within the article to begin with.

A search for "AmIAnnoying.com -site:AmIAnnoying.com" in google seems to have done the trick, More coverage in Poynter, Village Voice and the Irish Examiner with passing references in the Orlando Sentinel and the Tampa Bay Times Entertainment Weekly The Sidney Morning Herald, the Bermuda Sun, Boston.com and BBC NEWS.
