[edit] Star Wars: A Clone Apart

No demonstration of notability. Only one episode and a trailer has been released [1]. Highly probable vanity. "A Clone Apart" gets 87 unique hits on Google. Drat (Talk) 22:45, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

• Note: This debate has been added to the list of machinima deletions. Drat (Talk) 22:57, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Non-notable as-is. Perhaps the article could be recreated after a good deal more of the machinima has been completed and its popularity grows. --authraw 03:16, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep it Many things start out small, and as a result have small entries. Wikipedia is complete in this way in that there is something to grow from; people are more likely to add to an entry than create one. I suggest that someone find some upcoming information, and also add a summary of the first episode, if possible. While vanity is indeed a possibility, I say we let someone mess with the page until it's wiki-worthy, rather than delete it. While it is also true that it is not well known, and to be already well known is the prerequisite, it seems unfair to link its apparent popularity to the amount of hits on google it gets. Other articles started out smalll, back when RvB was first coming out, the article was small, and didn't get deleted at all. I may not have been a user then, but I was watching the article for updates.--lycanfury09 08:53, 18 September 2006 (PST)
• Keep it I agree with LycanFury, which is why I added to the article. I don't know who wrote it first, but I agree there should be a synopsis of the first episode. How do you add a synopsis page? (I'm new here)--DansonDelta40 13:31, 18 September 2006 (PST)
• Comment. The show needs to be subject of multiple non-trivial works. The Red vs. Blue article was not created until a few months after the show started and already had some considerable popularity, and had been written about in at least a few places. See also the WikiProject Machinima guidelines.--Drat (Talk) 23:17, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
• Reply. Point conceded. --LycanFury09 23:49, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep I'm just about to add to this article and make it better. The popularity will grow, eventually. Since there is stuff already written about it, it just doesn't make much sence to delete it when we know it will become wikiworthy eventually. Also, it doesn't seem right to delete it because it isn't popular. That's kind of like making Wikipedia an advertisement of popular things, and that is NOT what Wikipedia is.

• Comment. Sorry, but Wikipedia is not a crystal ball.--Drat (Talk) 05:54, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
• Comment I know I'm new (I originally added so I could add to this article), but is the only reason to delete if because it "hasn't made enough of a mark" yet? What's the harm in waiting, exactly? People seem to have actually felt the need to work on this article... --DansonDelta40 2:21, 21 September 2006 (PST)
  • Comment. You can only vote once. And if I had 10 cents for every article where an involved party in the subject tried the "but it'll be famous one day!" argument, I'd be rich. Who is to say that your series will make a mark? It could just end up like the loads of other articles on machinima productions and groups deleted from this site--Drat (Talk) 09:31, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment I apologize, I didn't mean to vote twice. And this isn't my series, nor did I even start this article.--DansonDelta40 13:53, 22 September 2006 (PST)
