[edit] zbattle.net

The creators of the program that the article is about have said that they do not wish not to have a page in wikipedia [1] [2].If possible, protection against re-creation is asked for.

• Delete per nom. Royboycrashfan 04:14, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
• Merge into ZSNES. Ashibaka tock 05:59, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete or merge into ZSNES, but only because it's a nn program, not because the subject requested it. Likewise, I don't think protection against re-creation should be used just because the subject wants it... I don't think article subjects should have any special say about what happens to their articles beyond the usual legal defenses against defamation and the like, since it whatever input they have would invariably go against neutrality. --Aquillion 09:20, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per Aquillion, not the nom. WP is an encyclopedia, not a selective grouping of those who want articles written about themselves. This, however, is very nn. Staxringold 23:07, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

• Weak keep, this does seem to need a rewrite if kept (which is unlikely), but if the developers don't want it listed on Wikipedia, we might as well delete it. - XX55XX 23:47, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, this article needs to be cleaned up, expanded, and renamed (it's "zbattle.net", not "Zbattle". I agree with what Aquillion stated, I don't think "owner/dev wanting it removed" is a valid criteria under the Deletion policy. If it was, then the Scientology page wouldn't be up right now, lol. Also, the program has somewhat of a cult following in the online SNES emulation scene, so that should qualify it for "notability". Besides, I've seen way more geekier stuff on Wikipedia that doesn't really need to be on here. FistOfFury

Yes that is true, and I do regret nominating it under the wrong reasons, but it dosen't fit the noteability guidelines by a longshot (WP:WEB and/or WP:SOFTWARE). Either way, the article seems like a plunge into advertisement for zbattle, and Wikipedia is NOT Advertisment --ThrashedParanoid★ 04:15, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Comment - Perhaps in the future it will become more pronounced in the notability department. :) Until then... FistOfFury
