[edit] HoboWars

Does not appear to meet the guideline for inclusion of websites. Google search returns 315 unique results, none of them too impresive. While Online Game of the Week and RPG Top Sites - Top 100 Site contests at first give the impression that this may have received critical acclaim, a quick browse shows that these are in fact meaningless with regards to reliable sources. This has had one round at AfD already but the debate was less than scintillating. In the spirit of full disclosure, I've had "eviscerate HoboWars" on my to-do list for ages. That however does not have any impact on the fact that this is one among countless online games, and fails our guideline for websites.

  • To be accurate. It is "hobowars" with no space. 42,600 results—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.206.22.230 (talk • contribs) .
    • Aye, thanks for that but there is still nothing signifigant there and even fewer actual hits: 263 unique.

  • Comment Delete it if you feel the need, but surely there are many other pages that need to be added to your 'eviscerate' list Mr Brenneman. You may want to start with RuneScape and Torn City. In fact, to help you on your quest I've prepared your Todo list for the next few months. You don't want people to think you're biased against one page and not crusading for the good of Wikipedia, do you? -- Weiner 13:22, 30 May 2006 (AEST)
  • Keep per nom. Quite notable as far as online games go.  Grue  19:14, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
