Non-notable website; seems to fail WP:WEB. Contested prod. PseudoSudo 21:32, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete article doesn't show how the subject meets WP:WEB. Since this is about the world of Kamain/Josh Prosser - whi is a non-notable person with no assertion of notability, can this be speedied as WP:CSD A7? - Politepunk 21:54, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

• Do Not Delete You guys have so many articles and this not a mediocre article! It is very long and descriptive. Plus wouldn't a new article just add to your database? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.52.250.111 (talk • contribs) 22:10, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

• Do Not Delete This article is long and descriptive, and details a site which many, many people have used, or at least browsed. Many people have put a lot of work into this article, and id hate to see it go to waste by deletion.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.44.11.235 (talk • contribs) .
• Delete per WP:WEB. While "long" and "descriptive" are technically words that could be applied to this article, I suppose, it's actually a pretty good example of why nearly all forum articles are deleted. Very little that happens on forums is encyclopedic, or of interest to those outside the forum itself. As a result, forum articles tend to get padded out with utterly trivial trivia. Here's a sample from this article: "Then about 4 months afterwards, Ryan made an account called "imcoolcuzicuff", and pretty much said some revealing stuff towards Dread (For example, his penis is 5 inches, his nickname is Russtard and Rusty Bucket {because his name is Russell}, and Russell Sprouts), and even after that Dread was barely angry at Ryan." Now, can anyone out there think of any reason why the information I quoted, whether factual or not, would be of any interest to anyone outside the forum? I certainly cannot.

• Delete Although the article was originally put up for deletion when it was totally irrelevant and advertisement for its forum (the article was later edited by one of the members to include actual information as to avoid deletion), the article is still totally useless for anything except the glorification of the website. (PS. I am one of the forum members of this site, so that should be taken info consideration when reading my thoughts)—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.44.11.235 (talk • contribs) .
• Strong Delete. Absolutely nothing in the article is notable. Also, see this topic, third post down. Naconkantari e|t||c|m 21:22, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

So what if it isn't encyclopediac enough? I thought an encyclopedia was about INFORMATION. Oh and the P.S. guy that says he's a forum member. You aren't a forum member. :-p. If so which one? Anyway, if the person isn't notable or well known, now you know him. What if someone wanted to look up Kamain's World on Wikipedia or something and it wasn't there. See, if the article has some stuff, as long as it's descriptive etc, it should stay. You guys are just pompous.

• • You've brought up a very good point there, perhaps unintentionally: "What if someone wanted to look up Kamain's World on Wikipedia or something and it wasn't there." For a moment, imagine that you're someone who's just heard of Kamain's World and wants to know more about it. Which of the following would you most logically use to get your information? (a) Go directly to the Kamain's World website. (b) Look it up on Google. (c) Check a website about forums, such as Big-Boards.com. (d) Check an internet directory. (e) Check an encyclopedia. Here's a hint: the answer isn't (e). Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 22:14, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
• Strong DELETE. Just read the Admins section to find out why. Theonlyedge 21:56, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom, does not appear to meet WP:WEB guidelines. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 01:18, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Delete. --Yamla 20:40, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Fine delete it. Delete the effort, I don't care.

• Strong delete as article does not assert the notability of the site, and in general is very POV in my opinion. Bjelleklang - talk 22:33, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Also, a little comment: Even though this forum shouldn't be included in Wikipedia, it does not mean that it isn't a great community. But Wikipedia can't include a forum/site of <insert whatever subject here> if it doesn't pass the notability requirements! I could write a great article about myself, or any other person, but that doesn't make him or her notable. Bjelleklang - talk 22:36, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - per nom. Zaxem 04:41, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
