I agree with the WP:A7 tag. This appears to a WordPress blog, and to fail the tests for inclusion for web content.
I looked for plausible articles to redirect this to, including considering writing an article its founder, but again could not find anything that would indicate his notability. However:

This article has existed on the English language Wikipedia since 2008, and I think its deletion would be better evidenced by a deletion discussion than simply by an automated edit summary by the deleting administrator.
There may also be alternatives to this article's speedy deletion that I don't know about, and other editors may be able to identify.

For those reasons, I have started this WP:AFD. Shirt58 (talk) 08:58, 6 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Not a notable website. I note the site appears not to have been updated since 2009.--Pontificalibus (talk) 13:50, 6 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
No opinion either way... and I was the one who created this article. Or, I should say, established its own place on Wikipedia. Or, to be much more accurate, resolved a piggybacking situation. Here's the deal: In 2008, while reading an article for a Green Bay, Wisconsin radio station which had the WZNN call sign at that time, I discovered that someone (and I don't even remember who it was anymore) added, alongside the previously existing info on the radio station, a separate and unrelated subsection about a website named the "World Zoroastrian News Network," saying that "WZNN also means..." this out-of-the-way website about a mystic religion. I didn't object to the inclusion of religious information on Wikipedia so much as I did to someone paying no mind to Wikipedia article etiquette (i.e. adding totally unrelated information to an existing article instead of giving said unrelated information its own article). So that's the reason I moved information on "World Zoroastrian News Network" to its own separate article — this article — and added top-of-article redirect guidance to the WZNN article ("for the website concerning Zoroastrianism, see..."). Outside of its creation, the only other update I've made to this article was one in 2010 regarding the redirecting of "WZNN" to this article after the Green Bay radio station changed its call sign away from WZNN (it's now WKRU). I wash my hands of this article, with all due respect to anyone practicing the religion in question (which I don't even know a hill of beans about). If this article is ultimately kept or deleted, it won't matter to me either way. Darrel M (talk) 16:28, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
