[edit] Kingdom Hearts Showdown

ATTENTION! If you came here because somebody asked you to, or you read a message on a forum, please note that this is not a ballot, but rather a discussion to establish a consensus amongst Wikipedia editors on whether a page is suitable for this encyclopedia.

Please sign your posts on this page by adding ~~~~ at the end. Happy editing!

Non-notable per WP:WEB. Just about all Google hits are actually for Kingdom Hearts: Showdown of Fate. RaCha'ar 22:37, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

• It is an interesting game and it is a lot of fun. Also, a lot of people are interested in this game. Dark Angel, KH Showdown —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.205.122.164 (talk • contribs). - Note: Signature was added by Cipher343 (talk • contribs)
• We want our site to be heard, and that requires Wikipedia. It's one small step to being well known, and if well known is what you want, your gonna get it in some time. Our game and forum are unique, they test creativity, and everyone has some sort of creativity in them. So, for the sake of other people, let this page live!- Sora, KH Showdown —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cipher343 (talk • contribs).

• As mentioned in the article Kingdom Hearts Showdown is hosted on inivision free which is a free message board website. You are almost gauranteed to not find it on google as these boards very rarely appear on google and other search engines. - Riku KH Showdown —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Redwarz (talk • contribs).

• This is a good board and we need more people to join. It's entertaining and fun also.-Braig KH Showdown

• Delete per above admissions that it's a little-known game trying to gain exposure. Wikipedia is for things that are already notable, not to help you get there. Fan-1967 02:41, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. It's a fan created game(which automatically hurts it's chances of deserving an article), on a non-notable website. Fan-1967 is right in that Wikipedia is for things that are already notable, not to help something become notable. TJ Spyke 02:47, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

• Even so, put yourself in our shoes, you have a board in a DESPERATE need of new members, wikipedia is one of your few options to turn, I think you'd go with Wikipedia! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cipher343 (talk • contribs).

• Please read What Wikipedia is not. Wikipedia is not a free bulletin board. There is zero chance that this article will be allowed to remain. Sorry, but you'll need to come up with a Plan B for drumming up members. Fan-1967 03:06, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

You win...

• Delete umm.. yeah. WP:WEB, WP:NOT, WP:V, WP:OR... etc.. per the article itself: "This site is pretty much one huge forum, members, as well as guest can post about things in topics created by the users." --Kunzite 04:30, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Editors pretty much slayed themselves. Danny Lilithborne 06:15, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep You claim Wiki is for things that are notable. Wouldn't other people find it interesting that several fans who played and enjoyed the Kingdom Hearts series got together and created a text based game on it and maybe they would like to be apart of that game.

  • Comment You do have to read Wikipedia's policies on what's notable and what's not, though, which is why I linked the WP:WEB policy when I let you know about this AfD. Please read that again. I understand your guys' rationale for this article, but unfortunately, it won't fly here. -RaCha'ar 18:27, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as a failure of WP:WEB. --Hetar 18:28, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per reasons above. —tregoweth (talk) 18:34, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete self-admitted advertisement. I'll also add that the advert is entirely original research without using verifiable and reliable sources and has a clear POV. It also has elements of a game guide. --TheFarix (Talk) 19:06, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
