Which one do you want it in? The submission guidelines say to submit to the one best fit category. Once!

There is no status information to report. If the most recent suggestion was a month or more ago, then you may resubmit once to the single best category and check back again in this same thread after one month.

If it was (most recently) suggested less than a month ago, please check back in this same thread after it's been a month.
Thanks.

Update please

It has been over a month since it was submitted this last time and about 6 months since the first submission.

Do I have to provide site statistics to DMOZ to perhaps expedite this? Sorry, but this site has been a fast riser, over the past couple of months, but it still has yet to be listed on Google.

Your request for a listing in Sports/Basketball/College_and_University/NCAA_Division_I/Conference_USA/DePaul has been declined, but unlike most sites where this happens, you do not have a permanently fatal flaw.

In the opinion of the reviewing editor, your site simply did not have enough uniqie content to qualify for a listing at this time.

Some generic advice: double or even triple the amount of content that you and you alone have on your site. Then resubmit, once, to this category above. In your submission, indicate that you have added extensive new content.

Remember, in terms of copntent, you want your site to be in the top 10%, not the bottom 10%. For us, there is no concept of "just enough" content. We'd much rather look at a site and go "Wow!"

Please do not provide site statistics. They are totally irrelevant.

In fact, if you find out ANYTHING you can do to expedite, please let us know, so we can change our procedures to protect editors from it. (That is not a functionality we want -- in fact, that is not a functionality that the integrity of the project can tolerate.)

If you have concerns about Google, take them to Google. We aren't Google, and we don't control Google. we make our content available to EVERYONE, without respect to how ANYONE uses it. And ... that specifically includes even Google (who has used our content in about half-a-dozen different ways at various times since the beginning.)

Hogwash

Sorry, but the "explanation" on why inclusion did not occur does not seem to fly. If I need to submit it in a new region, that is fine. But to say "content" is not there is humorous. DMOZ gave approval to a competitor site that has 95-99% of it's content reflective on DePaul men's basketball. Take note, this is a site that is receiving less traffic than Blue Demons Nation. Blue Demons Nation covers all DePaul athletics as well as has a forum for discussion on off-topic subjects. However, I have resubmitted a request to http://dmoz.org/Sports/Basketball/College_and_University/NCAA_Division_I/Conference_USA/DePaul/ and will be checking in on the status around June 15th.
