[edit] Cajun Nights MUSH

Well, it exists, but evidence of notability is a bit hard to come by> Associated forum has only around 120 members, this article is the top of the 300 or so Google hits. I say it's cruft. Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] AfD? 16:52, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

• Borderline Keep I think the article should be kept. Well written, not a promotion. --Computerjoe 17:01, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Ten years is unusually durable for this genre. Durova 19:44, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - this is its TMC details [1]. Average players on at a time is 25-49. We established through AFD discussions on talkers that you need about 100 players on at a time to be suitably notable for Wikipedia, unless there is another good reason for its inclusion. Note that it is ranked around number 225 in the world for MUDs, yet we only have 46 articles on MUDs here (actually probably around 30 actual MUDs) and until recently we didn't even have the number 1 most popular MUD in the world, Aardwolf MUD listed on there (average 600 players online at a time). 600 vs 25? Hrm. Best they get another claim to notoriety here. Note that we also voted to merge Crystal Palace (chat site) which was a talker that averages 15-51 users online, because it wasn't popular enough, in spite of it being amongst the most popular talkers about right now. MUSHes are similarly popular to talkers, and hence are comparable. 25-49 users on at once equates to a probable user base of around 2,000. Wikipedia requires 5,000 for forums. Just not enough users.

  • Oh and PS I've said for quite a while now that we need a separate criteria for such things as this. For internet things that are not webpages! WP:WEB doesn't directly cover this kind of thing. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 10:56, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
