[edit] Astro Empires

Astro Empires (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

MMORPG, still in beta. Alexa is about 85,000, the only references are from the website and its associated forums. Fails WP:WEB. Contested prod. MER-C 12:44, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

• Delete only just onto a second server, still in beta, no evidence of multiple non-trivial coverage in reliable independent secondary sources. Guy (Help!) 12:58, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - definitely fails WP:WEB as I can't find anything about it anywhere else. Jayden54 15:16, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. This article, I imagine, will be greatly needed some day. Although there are not many refs outside the official website, there will probably be more to come as before release of the game; there will not be too much media coverage of it as with type of game, they generally only get fansites.

As an afterthought, why is the article both an AfD and a PROD? Greeves 22:01, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Someone didn't know that AFD autmotically supercedes PROD. This can be confusing, because the third deletion path (speedy deletion) is neither superceded by these nor supercedes them until actual deletion occurs. Someone has already fixed this, however. GRBerry 02:28, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

• Delete until notable then recreate.  Orfen ^{User Talk} | _Contribs 00:21, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above.OriginalJunglist 00:55, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete: It clearly is of little significance and is not notable enough for it's own page. However, I feel that the article should be saved as mentioned above. Perhaps there could be made a new article about various free web games and a portion of this article added to that new article? LOLLERCOASTER 03:56, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: This article is looking like it will be deleted. :-( I invite anyone who still wants to contribute to the article for when it is notable enough to come to Wikipedia:WikiProject Massively multiplayer online games/Article Archive/Astro Empires. I hope this article will be revived some day... Greeves 21:38, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
