[edit] Kobra's Realm

This, Crossed Realmz 4 (AfD discussion), and Crossed Realmz Echo Realm (AfD discussion) were created by VoodooKobra (talk · contribs) and are about xyr web site, xyr unreleased game, and a fictional place in xyr unreleased game respectively. As I noted in the first AFD discussion, everything about the game is written by the author xyrself. The same is true of this web site. No-one else has published anything about it at all. The only things written about it are trivial web directory listings such as this, which are worthless for the purposes of an encyclopaedia article. VoodooKobra stated in this edit and these edits that the reason that there are no sources for this article is because the web site is down, and that the way to verify the content of this article is to have been a "member of Kobra's Realm throughout the history of the website". Compiling a firsthand history of a web site from direct observation is original research, which is forbidden here. (The place to do it is on the web site's own "history of this web site" page.) Furthermore: Readers are not expected to have to repeat the entire research of the original author in order to verify articles. This web site thus fails to satisfy the primary WP:WEB criterion. Creating anything but a web directory entry ("Kobra's Realm is a web site with domain name D that was registered by N on Y.") for this web site is original research and unverifiable. Wikipedia is not a web directory. Uncle G 01:10, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

It's an article ABOUT a website. Why did you have to type all that BS? You're looking into it too much... if there's some BS technicallity here or there: FIX IT. Don't just delete it. That's censorship. Quit being so imperialistic! Kobra 02:36, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

• Delete - Anytime someone who is named after the website comes to its defense, I have to be skeptical. And it sounds like these guys didn't have an offsite backup plan at all (in one fire they lost everything). And they don't seem notable. --Cyde Weys _talk^contribs 06:35, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
