[edit] Red Vs. Blue Roleplay

Non-notable spinoff of the forums of the Red vs Blue website. No Google hits. Prod tag was previously removed. — TKD::Talk 04:08, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

• Keep - We're not really a "Spin-off". A spinoff is moreover a new perspective using the same characters and storyline from the original. The only thing we honestly have in relation with the actual Red Vs. Blue site is the conflict in its core self. And part of the name. Thats it.
  • (On a side note, It'd really be dissapointing. I spent 5 hours working on this article. I don't want to see it go so quickly.) We formerly had a base of 52 members before the old boards croaked. - Xvash2::Talk 11:46PM 13 May 2006 (CDST)
    • Do you have any idea how many forums there are on the internet? Aplomado ^talk 05:55, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy delete randomcrapcruft. It's got to be non-notable if there's no GHits. M1ss1ontomars2k4 04:48, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
• Comment actually, Google shows 677,000 for Red Vs. Blue roleplay if you remove the quotations, additions, and wikipedia comments. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Xvash2 (talk • contribs) .
  • Comment. But how many of those are relevant? All four words taken separately have a variety of uses. — TKD::Talk 18:12, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. I can't see how a forum with 52 members meets our web notability guidelines. Further, it seems to have folded up. I appreciate the time that Xvash2 put in but it needs to be verifiable in line with our guidelines. Capitalistroadster 05:19, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep If I remember correctly, google only displays 15% of the internet. Its crawler bot doesn't document every single webpage.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Xvash2 (talk • contribs) .
  • Comment. Can you think of a major site that it doesn't index? — TKD::Talk 18:12, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Scratching your vote because you've already voted. Aplomado ^talk 05:55, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. As sympathetic as I am to your good-faith efforts and time spent in creating an article for Wikipedia, it just doesn't meet notability guidelines as mentioned above. There are countless forums on the internet, and we can't include every one of them in an encyclopedia. Aplomado ^talk 05:58, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Alas, I agree the article is nonnotable and really shouldn't be in Wikipedia, as a forum is not uncommon and this particular forum is no more notable than the next. I don't know the rules with adding an article to one's userspace, but perhaps that would work if it qualifies within the rules? Otherwise, despite the work dedicated to the article, it really does not qualify for WP. --Ataricodfish 06:05, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, non-notable web forum, vanity article. JIP | Talk 08:40, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete this really isn't notable, despite Red vs Blue's internet phenomenon status. DannyM 09:37, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Not notable, vanity. DarthVader 14:52, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
• Comment Fine. Technically, this isn't really notable, but it was in no way at all meant to be vanity, an advertisement, or any abusal of any other wikipedia policies. I hadn't heard of the "notability" policy until it was brought up when this article was put up for deletion. Delete, whatever. Xvash2 (talk
• Speedy this crap before it gets spread to the mirrors.--Drat (Talk) 04:20, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
