[edit] Anshe Chung

Anshe Chung is an important pioneer in the virtual world economy and has been featured on television and in countless newspaper articles. Her status can be rightfully described as a "celebrity" of this new medium. Deleting this Wikipedia entry would be a loss to everybody who is using Wikipedia to research virtual worlds and their economic and social dynamics.

Actually, this article should be merged elsewhere for now. But why did you create this AfD subpage? +sj + 04:24, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

• This afd nomination was orphaned. Listing now. —Crypticbot (operator) 19:42, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep and do not merge. There is more to say about the ramifications of this business' actions than is appropriate for a section in Second Life. Anshe may be a big fish in a small pond, but big fish make waves, and they have been the subject of media attention. The article as it stands is not perfect, but there appears to be material and references in the talk that should help with that. GreenReaper 14:35, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, no merge. Perhaps at some point there will be more such businesses and it would be appropriate to make this a section of an article about such businesses. At this time they seem to be in a class by themselves. Tualha (Talk) 15:10, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
• Merge, This article pertains to an entity that exists in only a small number of online spaces, and doesn't reflect internet at large. --Ice 16:39, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, As far as I can tell Anshe Chung has been the subject of more media attention than any other Avatar in the history of MMORPGs, placing her well above Wikipedia's threshold of "ecyclopdia-ness"Carl Henderson

• Keep, 22,400 results from google, many from media outlets, is notable enough.
