[edit] JMC Blue Dwarf

JMC Blue Dwarf (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

OK, so this is essentially a piece of cooperative Red Dwarf fanfiction posing as a game that has been played by no more than 100 people since its inception in April 2000. Why does this belong in an encyclopedia, exactly? There are no references beyond links to the Blue Dwarf website. A Google search for "blue dwarf roleplaying" provided nothing relating to this game beyond simple links in directories of other Play-by-E-mail games. Further, the audio recording mentioned is simply a recording made by someone who plays the game and then posted it to the site, rather than, say, the story being picked up and used by a third party media outlet. This might be entertaining for the 30 people involved in it, but it simply isn't notable by any definition, and lacks any pretense of reliable third-party sources as well. Fails WP:WEB and WP:NOTE. --Ig8887 (talk) 03:19, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

• And when I started this AfD, I didn't even realize this was a recreate of an article that was deleted as non-notable in July 2007. Well, it hasn't become any more notable in the intervening months, and a bunch of references to its own homepage doesn't establish third-party coverage. --Ig8887 (talk) 03:24, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
• Speedy delete as re-creation of a previously deleted article, or as a second choice delete per nom and WP:WEB due to lack of a clear claim to notability. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:53, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
