[edit] RS Battle

ATTENTION! If you came to this page because a friend asked you to do so, or because you saw a message on an online forum asking you to do so, please note that this is not a vote on whether or not this article is to be deleted. It is not true that everyone who shows up to a deletion discussion gets an automatic vote just for showing up. The deletion process is designed to determine the consensus of opinion of Wikipedia editors; for this reason comments from users whose histories do not show experience with or contributions to Wikipedia are traditionally given less weight and may be discounted entirely. You are not barred from participating in the discussion, no matter how new you may be, and we welcome reasoned opinions and rational discussion based upon our policies and guidelines. However, ballot stuffing is pointless. There is no ballot to stuff. This is not a vote, and decisions are not made upon weight of numbers alone. Please review Wikipedia:Deletion policy for more information.

• Delete Not worthy of its own article. See Alexa and what it says on front page on about amount of users. J.J.Sagnella 19:06, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete this now, the original state of the article before clean-up dictates my vote. Page written entirely by a cabal of about 4 users. Jdcooper 18:16, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete This isn't the place to advertise web games. Danny Lilithborne 02:19, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete I agree that this is not the place to advertise a game. Mark is a noob delete this. (unsigned comment by 149.159.31.110 02:31, 10 April 2006 (UTC))
• Keep This is not an advertisement for a game. This is going to be a full history for the game of RSBattle, much like RuneScapes page. We have not yet written everything up, and will soon have the history and all other things up. This page was made by a user of the RSBattle game before anyone had anything ready to put up, hence why it does not have much at the moment. I, along with some other people of this game's community are trying to maintain this article and get more information for it to be put up as soon as possible. All of us who are editing/maintaining are still new to Wikipedia, this would be most of our first pages that we have ever touched, which also is another reason why there is not much on the page (due to us not fully knowing the coding style of Wikipedia, which does have a weird learning curve).

• Keep This will be a guide for the game, it is only in its beginning stages, the community for this game has only just recently been informed about the Wiki site, we should at least get a chance on trying to fix it up, before it is deleted. Any game on Wikipedia could be an advertisement for a game, we are currently trying to decide what to put on the site.Elfmaster 21:14, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, unless it can be shown through the use of verifiable information taken from reliable, third-party sources that this online game meets one or more of the criteria at the Wikipedia:Notability (websites) guideline or the proposed Wikipedia:Notability (software) guideline. -- Saberwyn 12:26, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, this does not appear to be the work of a major studio, and therefore cannot be considered notable on release due to the weight of support and promotion behind it (and please, no bleating about majors and independents - Wikipedia is here to reflect note, not create it to balance out any perceived injustices). Therefore this stands purely as an advertisement, and not as a reflection on a game that has earned any particular note. No article should be created until it fits the criteria as stated by Saberwyn.

• Delete: non-notable online game. --Hetar 18:03, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Saberwyn. Wikipedia's purpose is not to flog ads for wannabe computer games. If the game gets notable (or the article author proves notability) then an article is justifiable. RGTraynor 20:07, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per the three editors above; every line in this article screams "non-notable". PS, what's with the vote counter at the top? That's new to me, and probably best left to the closing admin. Sandstein 20:11, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Plus, its out of date. -- Saberwyn 21:55, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:WEB. AFD is not a vote, so I've removed the "vote counter". The closing admin will deal with it. Stifle (talk) 22:38, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Agree with all said above.Freddie 22:17, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
