[edit] EN World

This is nonnotable and an advertisement. It is also written in an unencyclopedic manner. —WAvegetarianTALKCONTRIBSEMAIL 23:35, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Withdrawn per wwwwolf. Sorry about the tag thing, I initially listed it for AFD, then saw the live test of prod notice, changed it to prod and forgot to delist from AFD. —WAvegetarianTALKCONTRIBSEMAIL 21:18, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
Okay, sorry, I didn't check the history. Just remember that PROD is the first choice of deletion and intended to take workload off of AfD process; it's kind of pointless to go for PROD after you've already gone and done AfD. =) --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 12:32, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep and cleanup/wikify (will do that as soon as I'm done with this note). "written in unencyclopedic manner" isn't a deletion reason, nor is "advertisement"; they belong to cleanup. As for notability, any site where I can go to the front page and it cheerfully greets me with "There are currently 1508 users online now" is probably popular enough in my books. =) Plus, enworld is pretty well known in d20/D&D circles and has a very informative database of d20 products and reviews - it's probably one of the most important d20 sites right after Wizards of the Coast's site! --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 16:05, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
    • Okay, I did a near-complete rewrite (and also, the nominator forgot to de-{{prod}} this and {{subst:afd}} it, which I added. Hopefully this makes the thing more presentable. Mmmm. 40,000 registered members. Don't know about your notability criteria - I think it well passes mine! --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 16:20, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep — This site is pretty big among the D&D crowd. I still go there myself on occasion. My feeling is that it is just sufficiently notable to keep around. Thanks. :) — RJH 16:27, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, and/or merge with the one I wrote: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ENWorld User:BOZ
  • Keep for sure. EN World is probably the biggest d20 site out there (not counting Wizards of the Coast's Dungeons and Dragons site). But admittedly, the article needs work. Rycanada 02:12, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Keep with cleanup. Right now, it's just a stub anyway. I agree with Boz on this one. Kimera757 05:15, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment If this nomination has been withdrawn, why is the page still tagged? (Oh, and in case it still matters, keep as one of the most notable and influential RPG sites in existence.) PurplePlatypus 20:08, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
