[edit] Kurnik

Listed on speedy as "advertising" wich is not a CSD critera. Does look like advertising, cross posted to a dozen different languages, but it does score ~140.000 hits on Google. It has an Alexa trafic rank of 126,836 for the .org adress, however the Polish version version does score 6,707 on Alexa and have about 100.000 registered users, wich is well within the notability guidelines for websites IIRC. So weak keep from me. --Sherool (talk) 11:09, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

• Suggested alternative content

  The article describes several interesting technical solutions, how to use Java and advanced networking. I think, it should stay. If the content seems too more like the advertisement, I suggest the alternative content:

  Kurnik is a community-supported site of classic board and card games. Instead of playing as a partner, the server simply connects the partners, who apply to the server willing to play. It is usually more attractive to play with the live partner than with the programmed algorithm.

  The user interface is realized using browser-embedded Java applets.

  Weak keep That's cute to compare it to Warcraft. Jasmol 16:43, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Several facts not mentioned in the English version of this article might be responsible for it being VfD-ed:
  • The website was originally Polish-only and is the most popular on-line board game website in Poland - most Polish internet users know this website and it would probably never be deleted at pl:
  • Rules for all games are cc-by-nc-sa
  • It offers their own, public domain games "Literaki ;-)" and "Netopoly ;-)", which are free alternatives for Scrabble and Monopoly.
  • It's available in 21 languages so far

• Keep and clean up; the Polish site's Alexa rank alone earns it notability, considering that Alexa is often alleged to be biased against non-US sites. I don't know if the page has been edited since it was AfD'd, but the present text does not read like advertising to me. — Haeleth Talk 21:20, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
