[edit] Forgotten Hope

Mod for Battlefield 1942. 320 unique hits for searchstring ["Forgotten Hope" "Battlefield 1942" -wikipedia]. Most of these appear to be entries in "lists of mods" run by game fansites. Can't find any critival reviews. Article contents are little more than a overly-exhaustive list of the maps, weapons, and vehicles used in the game mod. Information appears to be unverifiable through the use of reliable sources, and does not appear to meet the proposed guideline at Wikipedia:Notability (software) -- Saberwyn 22:35, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

• Changing to weak keep per Fuzzie, but not withdrawing nomination. -- Saberwyn 02:15, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep. My Google gives 750,000 unique hits and no wonder, it's definitely the most popular mod for BF42 out there. Believe me, it's been helping me cope with stress for quite some time now. The article could indeed be a tad corrected, with the lists perhaps transformed to some other format in order to make the ToC shorter, but deleting it is not the way to go. Finally, it's a computer game mod; don't expect any serious publications on it as there are hardly any academic monographs of computer games at all. Which however does not mean that this article is unverifiable, add the proper {{fact}} tags where applicable and you'll see for yourself. //Halibutt 01:44, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Your search was for ["Forgotten Hope"]. Battlefield 1942 may be the first hit on Google for it, but there are numerous other things out there that use that as a name. Adding the qualifier "Battlefield" to that search string drops it to 332 unique hits. -- Saberwyn 10:12, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep It seems popular enough, with even a Something Awful review. I had no real problems finding sensibleish reviews, either - for instance, one from the Mac Observer. --Fuzzie (talk) 15:17, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong keep - Hey, the Battlefield 1942 article itself has a list of popular mods. This one apparently had 42,329 players, in a month in the past, and clicking links shows it still has a large percentage of the played mods - that's definitely notable, in my opinion. So, changed to strong keep. --Fuzzie (talk) 21:40, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

• Keep This is the most popular mod for BF1942. Seano1 23:22, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Would you be so kind as to provide a reliable source backing up this claim? -- Saberwyn 04:56, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. I'm confused as to how this mod can only get 332 Google results... the mod was very popular in its prime. I'm sure a lot of other people reading this AfD will be thinking the same thing. Remy B 14:28, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep The most popular BF1942 mod after DC. stroooong keep ⇒ SWATJester ^Ready Aim _Fire! 23:57, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
  • As I've said above, could you please provide externally verifiable evidence to back up this claim? -- Saberwyn 10:44, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
