[edit] Asylum51

This article about a group of gaming clans is full of original research. Normally that's a reason to edit, not delete, but given the nature of the subject matter I doubt there exist any reliable sources covering this topic. I tried making it into a redirect to the Freelancer game article (assuming the folks there would be able to put in as much or as little info about this as is appropriate), but it was reverted. I don't see that this article should exist by itself, since the subject matter is important only to those who play the game. Friday (talk) 14:29, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

I apologize if this is not the appropriate place for commentary. The redirect to your Freelancer game article was not deemed appropriate because A51 hosts and participates in more than only Freelancer, as my recent edit attempted to illustrate. In addition to games, members of A51 share tips about many other programs, such as photoshop, milkshape, and lightwave.

I added the web address of A51 for verification, but perhaps I do not understand what you mean by that. Lancer's Reacor (www.lancersreator.com) also has information about A51.

I understand this article may seem self-promotional, but it was added by members not staff. Staff only became involved in an effort to add a complete picture of the community and hopefully save the article from deletion. If I can be of further assistence, please contact me at aurora@asylum51.com. Thank you for your time. ~Aurora
