[edit] International Anarchy

• Delete. This is a non-notable vanity article WAvegetarian 04:20, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
• Do not delete. This page should not be deleted just because the world of gamers is not what you are used to yet. We are one of the top clans in the Louisivlle Area and we enjoy what we do. You have a page on Team 3D and no one marked that for deletion! We enjoy what we do and believe that since we are not being rude or being a propaganda machine, that it is fine to have a page on that. —preceding unsigned comment by 12.202.109.176 (talk • contribs) 05:37, 21 November 2005 (UTC) who is the author of the article
• Delete. I agree, this is a non-notable vanity article. The web in general allows for websites to display whatever they want. Wikipedia is for learning. Your chances of people searching google for your article topic are gar greater than that of someone searching wikipedia. Also, another page that has not been marked for deletion is no reason to not delete this one. And please sign your name so we know who we are talking to! Thanks. --Krovisser 05:07, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Sorry guys, this vote comes from a major contributor to the role-playing game and history of role-playing games articles. Maybe you'll be worth mentioning within an article if you win a major tournament. You'll earn your own article if you win a string of them like Team 3D or develop a successful game. For now this is Geocities material. Durova 06:36, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, article is not NPOV. Gaming clans only deserve articles if they won a major tournament. - Mgm|^(talk) 10:02, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. There's no reason for a clan to have a page, and "enjoy[ing] what [you] do" doesn't make it notable enough to have an encyclopedia page.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Grande (talk • contribs)
• Do Not Delete. Someone said earlier Wikipedia is for learning. If so, I ask why things such as Nsync, South Park, and other various pop culture icons. What does the United State's pop culture have to do with "learning." Sure they may not have won dozens of tournaments like Team 3D but they are part of the US's pop culture as well and if you don't want them to be, please delete it but if you are going to do that, shoot down every other thing on Wikipedia that has nothing to do with learning.Template:K.

  • Comment - I see your concerns, and I agree that Nsync, etc. are not part of learning per se... but we have to draw the line somewhere. There's a large difference between a PC game clan, which can be established merely by typing a few lines into the game, and artists and TV shows that have established themselves by selling thousands of records, and attracting thousands of viewers. Say you were to enter a game show. Which would be more likely to be a question: something about Nsync or South Park, or something about The counter-strike clan, "Internation Anarchy?" Yes, they are to a much lesser degree part of my (the US's) culture, but it would be far more encompassing to make an article about video game clans in general, instead of every individual one.--Krovisser 14:51, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - non-notable clan. --bbatsell | « give me a ring » 03:07, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
• Do Not Delete. Well, then there are many things such as Highschoool Wikis that are also of the same caliber as our clan. We are known throughout the area just as a highschool. Sure a highschool has educational purposes, but popularity wise we are just about equal.Template:K. Wood
