[edit] Liberal Crime Squad

Originally I proposed this game for deletion due to no evidence of notability and since the website of the creators has no Alexa rank. The author of the article removed the tag. I must say in his favour that he did attempt to explain that: He argued that Alexa is not a fair measure and that I should have used Google or Yahoo instead, which I did: 783 total Google hits, of these 33 unique ones; Yahoo gave a total of over 1000 hits, but only 62 unique ones. (I also tried Altavista, with a similar result.) He also said that it is listed in the List of controversial games (where an unregistered User:67.190.124.84 added it); well, in order for a game to be controversial, it should have caused a controversy - am I wrong? You'll have to do much better to persuade me that the game is notable; until then, my vote remains delete. - Mike Rosoft 00:51, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

• Weak delete per nom. Royboycrashfan 00:54, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. --Saforrest 01:51, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
• Honest question here, as the original author--what's the notability threshold? Please don't tell me that, like obscenity, you know it when you see it. Thanos6 02:10, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
  • See Wikipedia:Notability. But yes, there's definitely an element of subjectivity. --Saforrest 03:23, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Then I'm going to respectively disagree, and say that to me, this counts as notable.
      • Fair enough; what part of the WP:WEB criteria do you think this site fulfills? Delete per nom pending a positive answer. RGTraynor 19:58, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
        • 1. 2; it won the TOP DOG award from "Home of the Underdogs" (they are having website difficulties at the moment or I'd give you a link). I suppose that could qualify it for #1, too. Thanos6 20:20, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

• I've read its Google coverage, and I'm not impressed. Delete. DS 16:22, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, definitely has not established notability. NTK 02:22, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
