[edit] Blizzforums

First-person account verging on advertising for non-notable forum with 51 unique Google hits and an alexa ranking of 366,932. Zoe 04:48, August 14, 2005 (UTC)

  • Note It looks like it was just speedy deleted, which is odd, because the text of the article did not appear to be a speedy deletion candidate at all, although it clearly appeared to be advertising/self-promotion. --Mysidia (talk) 04:53, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Right. The orginal version had been speedied several times as unintelligible spam, but I've restored the article as it has been resubmitted in a slightly better form. I still think the VfD is a good idea, though. Delete as vanity spam. Fire Star 04:56, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
    • Ah, ok: Delete as vanity --Mysidia (talk) 05:04, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

Ok, I typed the article, feel free to change it if you like, I didn't mean for it to be an advertisement. 3: 25 14 August 2005 (UTC)--zhanster

  • Delete: When you can make a forum article not sound like advertising, tell me. I'd be pretty happy to create thousands of articles on forums that are of similar size. -x42bn6 10:12, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. As vanity. --*drew 14:03, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment I have edited the article to remove promotional language. Voters may wish to examine an earlier version such as this one to decide whether I have removed anything that they would consider important. Dpbsmith (talk) 22:11, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
    • Nah, it's because the two forums in context are having a mini-war with each other. They've had that war for something like 3 years. Side A hates Side B and vice versa. -x42bn6 04:08, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, for reasons articulated by others. Dpbsmith (talk) 22:11, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete As it is spam. -- BMIComp (talk, HOWS MY DRIVING) 23:35, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Even though I post and even am a moderator over there, BlizzForums just isn't notable enough to warrent its own article.--Kross 21:53, August 16, 2005 (UTC)
