[edit] GuildWiki

Contested prod. Article does not assert how this wiki is notable. Fails WP:WEB... Google test ignoring "forum/s and wikipedia" gives 261 hits. [1] --Kunzite 05:30, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Per nom. tmopkisn ^tlka 06:29, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. By this criteria I believe wowwiki would be deleted as well. --ColourBurst 08:10, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
• Comment - nominate wowwiki for afd and see. Tychocat 10:26, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/GameWikis. — Kaustuv Chaudhuri @ 09:35, July 8, 2006
• Delete per nom. A wiki just for one game? The front page looks more like social networking. Good luck on that. Tychocat 10:26, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
• Merge with Guild Wars. It might be worth a mention, but not an article. - Che Nuevara: ^{Join the Revolution} 13:43, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

  Comment: there is already a mention of guild wiki in Guild Wars#External links. What more needs to be said? What more can be said? — Kaustuv Chaudhuri @ 20:58, July 8, 2006

• Merge per CheNuevara... it looks like it could be an interesting little paragraph but there's no way it's notable enough at the moment to merit its own page. --Vengeful Cynic 15:57, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete withotu prejudice to a brief mention in Guild Wars. No merge necessary, I'd say, since it would only be a very brief mention. Just zis Guy you know? 21:05, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete website promo. Wile E. Heresiarch 05:29, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Delete. Notability not established. 68.50.203.109 08:47, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
• Comment - ColourBurst and Tychocat make very good points. WoWwikis been around for a while, too? 69.124.143.230 00:24, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
• Comment - Comparing two similar (by kind) sites, WoWWiki and FFXIclopedia, both have survived AfDs (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/WoWWiki and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/FFXIclopedia), with the latter barely squeaking through. GuildWiki has already been deleted once when it was called GameWikis (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/GameWikis) with near unanimous consensus. Same as now. This article should technically qualify for CSD A1 and G4, but it's past the speedy-by date. Both WoWWiki and FFXIclopedia are vastly bigger wikis than GuildWiki (12k[2] and 13k[3] pages respectively vs. 8k[4] for GuildWiki). However, if you compare Alexa data, WoWWiki(5,667) and GuildWiki(6,475) are vastly superior to FFXIclopedia(46,062). Summary: it's hard to find a sound precedent in this case. I do think it's worth noting that the creator of this article, User:DragonWR12LB, is a member of GuildWiki[5]: there is a clear conflict of interest. If this article gets deleted, it might be worth revisiting the notability question for WoWWiki. 137.226.13.2 04:08, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

• Merge. Notable or not, there is nothing here that can't be in the Guild Wars article. --Aguerriero (talk) 18:05, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
