[edit] Advance Wars By Web (second nomination)

Advance Wars By Web (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

The game was already deleted a while ago but I don't know if the content is similar. Either way, the current article is not verifiable through reliable sources and doesn't meet WP:WEB. Nothing from Google Wafulz 03:02, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

I like how you can say "Nothing from google" when when I do a search it comes up with "Results 1 - 10 of about 38,400 for "Advance Wars by Web". (0.25 seconds)" Some of the fun links I found from it:

I'm sorry but I'm a bit new to this, are you saying despite having over 38,000 results on google and approximately 32,000 registered users on the website doesn't make it "notable"? Painezor 10:07, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

    • Comment if you look at WP:RS you'll see wikipedia doesn't give blogs much credit at all. Since anyone can trivially write and publish a blog entry blogs usually don't meet WP:RS. So you should argue that these aren't blogs and show us evidence they are reputable sources, then integrate them into the article. --Quirex 22:48, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep There is no good reason to delete an article about a popular website like this. - MTC 15:05, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment. By "nothing from Google" I meant I couldn't find multiple non-trivial independent sources. I never once mentioned notability. The two links you've provided look to be minor gaming sites- one doesn't even have information, it just basically says "this is my favourite game" in a blurb. --Wafulz 18:40, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Unless someone is going to provide some non-trivial references, WP:WEB is a good reason. The second URL above, incidentally, implies copyright violation - if correct, the link should be removed even if the article is not. CiaranG 18:42, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per all. Xiner (talk, email) 20:17, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - fails WP:WEB. Eusebeus 13:19, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep ... as for failing WP:WEB I direct you to the 38,000 :). Still having a look around for the WP:RS thingy, it would help if I had a clue. Painezor 21:43, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment what part of WP:WEB does it pass? I can find no media mentions, and no reliable secondary sources. You need 2 or more reliable secondary sources to pass WP:WEB or you need 1 notable web award or someone has to include this pages content elsewhere. Perhaps you want to try WP:SOFTWARE. Can you find any non-blog coverage of the game? --Quirex 22:22, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete unless sourced... Addhoc 23:07, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
