[edit] World of Warcraft Forums

unless this could be somehow improved, this is way substandard. delete-- -- ( drini's _vandalproof page ☎ ) 02:49, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

Actually I rather abstain I think I made a mistake. -- ( drini's _vandalproof page ☎ ) 18:25, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

• Weak keep I have rewritten it to salvage what I could, and basically made it a stub for the purposes of voting (so people can see at least a non-vandalized version). This will probably always be a target of petty vandalism (and thus User:Drini will probably deal with it more than most of us) but it seems to be a notable forum, certainly one of the most active english-language forums there is. I don't know how much non-cruft content an article about it could ever have though... probably merge into World of Warcraft if it doesn't expand beyond a stub in a few months (article is apparently only a week old). --W.marsh 03:14, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, no claim to notability is made and the article reads like an ad. Disturbingly, six "community managers" are red linked, suggesting that articles are to be created on them later. The one blue link goes to an unrelated article. -- Kjkolb 23:24, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as it seems to be quite a substantial forum about a well known game. It should be interesting to see if/how the article develops, but we should certainly give it the chance to develop. Evil Eye 22:09, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as rewritten as per above. MCB 06:43, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
• Merge into World of Warcraft. While it probably does meet the requirements of WP:WEB (in so far as total forum members), there's already an article about the game that could have a section devoted to the forums. Failing a consensus on merging, it should be Kept. —Locke Cole ^{(talk) (e-mail)} 09:16, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
