[edit] Allied Precise Gunmen

Non-notable and unencyclopaedic: a few short paragraphs describing an internet-based gaming clan/group.-- PeruvianLlama^(spit) 06:34, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

• Delete gaming clan. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 15:14, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Hum. Such a precise gaming name deserves a strict Google search on ' "Allied Precise Gunmen" -site:en.wikipedia.org '. Result: 84 non uniq web site hits. add -teamwarfare because many sites like www.teamwarfare.net; www.teamwarfare.org; www.teamwarfare.com. Results: 12 hits. Seams not very notable.

• Keep While there has been some recent vandalism I have been trying to keep the article as accurate as possible with non-POV material. For some reason, people are saying I'm vandalizing (might be a bot) by reverting the damage. The fact is Allied Precise Gunmen has been around for 5 years and in games such as America's Army is fairly well known. While by no means is it a famous gaming organization, it exists and for all interested bodies, should be researchable in Wikipedia. As long as all information is accurate (mind you the recent vandalism) and written in a non-biased perspective, I see no problem. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.37.248.150 (talk • contribs) 16:33, 12 December 2005.
• Delete - Gaming clans are unencyclopedic. FCYTravis 23:45, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, unless there is actually something unique and notable about them that is verifiable. Clans of a handful of young men are not notable unless they achieve great success. For example, Team 3D is a small, but highly successful professional gaming clan that has actually been written about in the mainstream press. We don't even see links to articles on gaming web pages about these guys. If some notability AND verifiability can be established, I would change my vote. Otherwise, come back after you win some big tournaments or expand into hundreds of members over 5 more years. (It's also better if someone other than a member writes the article, as that helps assert notability and is more likely to be NPOV.) --Habap 20:37, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - excellent explanation, Habap. FreplySpang (talk) 15:03, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
