Unreleased mod for Battlefield 2. 178 unique Googles for searchstring ["US Intervention" "Battlefield 2" -wikipedia]. Most of these appear to be entries in "lists of mods" run by game fansites. Can't find any critival reviews. Article contents are little more than a list of the weapons, vehicles, and maps in the game mod. Information appears to be unverifiable through the use of reliable sources, and does not appear to meet the proposed guideline at Wikipedia:Notability (software) -- Saberwyn 05:56, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:SOFTWARE; non-notable mod --TBC^{??? ??? ???} 06:27, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to the game itself and add the content. Merge if possible.--Tdxiang 陈 鼎 翔 (Talk)ContributionsContributions Chat with Tdxiang on IRC! 07:07, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
  • We would then have to do that with every mod for this game. There's already 30-odd mods with their name and website link in the article (of which this is one), which sets a dangerous precedent. If the Bf2 modding community is as prolific as the Bf 1942 community (see List of Battlefield 1942 mods to see how prolific) it could be a deadly one. -- Saberwyn 07:44, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as nn mod. Feezo (Talk) 09:58, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep And not just because I spent the time writing it up, but because USI is looking to be one of the major total conversion mods to be released first (Within this month). King nothing 13:37, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. If the mod really does become popular, I'll support the article being recreated, but its not enough to make an article based on such a prediction. Remy B 14:29, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:NOT crystal ball clause. Per author's statement above, the mod has not even been released and once it is, there is no evidence it will be a notable/popular mod. If it gets close to Counterstrike popularity in a few months, recreate the article.--Isotope23 14:48, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. I swear, I'd love to see an additional section in policy entitled "What's Your Freaking Hurry?" When a mod (or a game, or an article, or a team, or a play or a book) is created/released, if it then becomes notable, then it's worthy of inclusion. Not one millisecond before.

  • Wikipedia:The World Will Not End Tomorrow. Not policy, but a good read. -- Saberwyn 20:43, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Man I'd love to see that as a guideline...--Isotope23 17:24, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep.I swear, id love to know why so many people care that we use those 2kb of the Wikipedia space. And saying that US Intervention is non-notable is just plain incorrect, we're one of the most popular Battlefield 2 mods there is. -David2999 17:07, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Upon what do you base claims of popularity, when your mod hasn't even been released yet? Do you have any links to critical reviews we might see? Download lists? RGTraynor 18:37, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. This is not just some random mod, this is a high quality mod with a big fanbase being released very soon. PBAsydney 20:14, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Would you be so kind as to provide a reliable source backing up this claim? -- Saberwyn 20:43, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
    • I think we're also running under vanity and self-promotion at this point; David2999's only contributions are on this article and this AfD discussion. PBAsydney's only contrib is above. RGTraynor 20:56, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep.No one knows for sure how popular it will be, but so far, USI has attracted many websites' attention and various communities' attention as well. There is no reason at all to delete this before a release. -Cpt.Sniper 18:15, 4 April 2006 (CST)
• Delete. This mod hasn't even been released yet and I've heard absolutley zero buzz about it on numerous battlefield 2 forums. If it becomes popular when it is released. Then make an article. --Riconoen 02:32, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Thats BS, just go to TotalBF2.com and you'll see an USI update on the frontpage. There are also numerous threads on the forums regarding USI. We even have a german USI fansite go to http://www.frag4fun.com/portal/us-intervention/David2999 07:24, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete nn mod. --Khoikhoi 05:04, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Find another webhost. NTK 09:42, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
